In contemporary discussions of gender relations around the world, a
gap often exists between theory which overemphasizes generalized
units such as "international" or "developing" and the complex ways
that global and local forces interact to structure women s lives in
specific countries and regions. Analyses of movement dynamics on
the global level contribute to our understanding of women's
activism across borders but do not highlight localized politics
spearheaded by poor women. Too often, editors Bandana Purkayastha
and Mangala Subramaniam have found, marginalized groups in rural or
impoverished areas are overlooked by the international economy of
knowledge. The Power of Women's Informal Networks describes and
evaluates social organization among poor women in South Asia and
West Africa. The contributors to this important new collection of
essays draw our attention to these small-scale but politically and
socially significant networks as they focus on both agency and the
situated contexts within which women work together to improve their
lives."
