Confronting Global Gender Justice contains a unique,
interdisciplinary collection of essays that address some of the
most complex and demanding challenges facing theorists, activists,
analysts, and educators engaged in the tasks of defining and
researching women's rights as human rights and fighting to make
these rights realities in women's lives. With thematic sections on
Complicating Discourses of Victimhood, Interrogating Practices of
Representation, Mobilizing Strategies of Engagement, and Crossing
Legal Landscapes, this volume offers both specific case studies and
more general theoretical interventions. Contributors examine and
assess current understandings of gender justice, and offer new
paradigms and strategies for dealing with the complexities of
gender and human rights as they arise across local and
international contexts. In addition, it offers a particularly
timely assessment of the effectiveness and limits of international
rights instruments, governmental and nongovernmental organization
activities, grassroots and customary practices, and narrative and
photographic representations. This book is a valuable resource for
both undergraduate and graduate students in fields such as Gender
or Women's Studies, Human Rights, Cultural Studies, Anthropology,
and Sociology, as well as researchers and professionals working in
related areas.
