Using her experience of living under apartheid and witnessing its
downfall and the subsequent creation of new governments in South
Africa, the author examines and compares gender inequality in
societies undergoing political and economic transformation. By
applying this process of legal transformation as a paradigm, the
author applies this model to Afghanistan. These two societies serve
as counterpoints through which the book engages, in a nuanced and
novel way, with the many broader issues that flow from the attempts
in newly democratic societies to give effect to the promise of
gender equality. Developing the idea of 'conditional
interdependence', the book suggests a new approach based on the
communitarian values which underpin newly democratic societies and
would allow women's rights to gain momentum and reap greater
benefits. Broad in its thematic approach, the book generates
challenging and complex questions about the achievement of gender
equality. It will be of interest to academics interested in gender
and human rights, international and comparative law.
