Feminism has re-shaped the way we think about equality, power
relations and social change. Recent feminist scholarship has
provided new theoretical frameworks, methodologies and empirical
analyses of how gender and feminism are situated within the
development process. Global Perspectives on Gender and Space:
Engaging Feminism and Development draws upon this framework to
explore the effects of globalization on development in diverse
geographical contexts. It explores how women's and men's lives are
gendered in specific spaces as well as across multiple landscapes.
Traveling from South Asia to sub-Saharan Africa to North America
and the Caribbean, the contributions illustrate the link between
gender and global development, including economic livelihoods,
policy measures and environmental change. Divided into three
sections, Global Perspectives on Gender and Space showcases the
following issues: One) the impact of neoliberal policies on
transnational migration, public services and microfinance programs;
Two) feminist and participatory methodologies employed in the
evaluation of land use, women's cooperatives and liberation
struggles and Three) gendered approaches to climate change, natural
disasters and conservation the global South. A feminist lens is the
common thread throughout these sections that weaves gender into the
very fabric of everyday life, providing a common link between
varied spaces around the globe by mapping gendered patterns of
power and social change. This timely volume provides geographic
comparisons and case studies to give empirically informed insights
on processes and practices relevant to feminism and development. It
illustrates ways to empower individuals and communities through
transnational struggles and grassroots organizations, while
emphasizing human rights and gender equity, and will be of interest
to those studying Geography, Development Studies, International
Relations and Gender Studies.
