As the only male head of state to address the Fourth World
Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995, Alberto Fujimori projected
an image as a promoter of progressive policies to improve the
condition of women, especially the poor, in society. And indeed,
during his tenure, the Peruvian government did pursue such policies
in several areas, including poverty relief, population control, and
domestic violence. In Intersecting Inequalities, Jelke Boesten uses
these policies as case studies, examining the relationship between
gender/race/class/ethnic divisions and the state in its project of
nation-building. Her investigation reveals that policies meant to
further women's development and emancipation often reproduced the
marginality they were supposed to fight. She also explores the
strategies women developed to negotiate with and challenge the
state.
