This book examines how gay place-making challenged the juggernaut
of neoliberal urbanization in the Malate district of Manila. In
this ethnography, Collins explores the creation of place,
characterized by neighborhood renewal, gay community and
entrepreneurialism, and informal gay sexual labor. Malate teaches
us that the power of sexual community to sustain a transgressive,
inclusive, gay neighborhood is circumscribed and fleeting, and that
urban livability, justice, and freedom must be pursued through
organized grassroots political projects if the magic of Malate is
to be revived for all its residents.
On the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, feminists are at a critical juncture to re-envision and
re-engage in a politics of human rights. Interdisciplinary feminist
conversations among scholar-activists can both challenge and enrich
new directions in feminism and human rights. The scholarly and
activist writings that comprise this collection advance both
research and critical conversations about feminism and human rights
by revealing the transformative potential of a feminist human
rights praxis that embraces both critique and collective justice.
The editors' method has been to move beyond a wholesale dismissal
of human rights so that the book may begin new dialogues that
envision transnational, gender and antiracist social justice
approaches. This book features work that engages academic critiques
of human rights frameworks yet goes further by exploring the
potential of human rights activism 'from below'. These
groundbreaking chapters and conversations provide evidence of the
persistent challenges and the attendant possibilities inherent in
feminist human rights activism and theorizing - they offer this
book, underscoring the creative displays of grassroots resistance
by women globally and affirming transnational feminist solidarity.
This book was published as a special issue of the International
Feminist Journal of Politics.

Straddling disciplines and continents, Feminist Futures interweaves
scholarship and social activism to explore the evolving position of
women in the South. Working at the intersection of cultural
studies, critical development studies and feminist theory, the
book's contributors articulate a radical and innovative framework
for understanding the linkages between women, culture and
development, applying it to issues ranging from sexuality and the
gendered body to the environment, technology and the cultural
politics of representation. This revised and updated edition brings
together leading academics, as well as a new generation of
activists and scholars, to provide a fresh perspective on the ways
in which women in the South are transforming our understanding of
development.
