This book explores how activists around the world have organized
to fight for their economic and social rights and well-being, to
end violence against women and militarism, to promote sexual and
reproductive rights, and to protect bodily integrity in the face of
the new biotechnologies. Seeing the body as a fluid site of power
and political contestation where specific cultural, social and
economic realities and struggles are played out, Harcourt looks at
body politics from the intimate and personal within self, family
and community to the public at national and global levels and
discourses.
Using narrative, interview, analysis and theory to bring out the
importance of different facets of body politics, this accessible
book translates feminist and development discourse into vitally
relevant material for all those interested in human rights and
social justice.
