Third World Women and the Politics of Feminism
Third World Women and the Politics of Feminism
These essays document the debates, conflicts, and contradictions among those engaged in developing third world feminist theory and politics. From conversations of female sexuality among poor women in Brazil, to gender and Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East, to women in Jamaica's informal urban economy, the publication looks at the intersectionality and politically entrenched nature of gender within the built environment and the impact that context has.
