"Global Feminism is an extremely useful and important volume
that systematically examines transnational women's movements as
well as raises a number of important theoretical questions about
global rights and transnational organizing."
--Amrita Basu, editor of "The Challenge of Local Feminism: Women's
Movements in Global Perspective"
"Global Feminism offers a powerful analysis of the intersection
of feminism and globalization, national women's movements and
transnational politics, and activism and scholarship. Many of the
authors reflect on their experiences as activists to produce a rich
examination of feminist mobilization in the 21st century. Among the
many strengths of this collection are the ways in which the authors
make visible the contradictions of globalization for women's
empowerment and evaluate feminist strategies for challenging male
domination in its many forms. This book advances our understanding
of how to increase social justice and democratic practice in
movement organizations and feminist networks. The authors vividly
demonstrate what feminism has to offer all movements for social
justice."
--Nancy A. Naples, author of "Feminism and Method: Ethnography,
Discourse Analysis and Activist Research"
Increasingly feminists around the world have successfully
campaigned for recognition of women's full personhood and
empowerment. Global Feminism explores the social and political
developments that have energized this movement. Drawnfrom an
international group of scholars and activists, the authors of these
original essays assess both the opportunities that transnationalism
has created and the tensions it has inadvertently fostered. By
focusing on both the local and global struggles of today's feminist
activists this important volume reveals much about women's changing
rights, treatment and impact in the global world.
