- Description
- The authors of this book probe the effects of global and local forces in reshaping notions of gender, race, class, identity, human rights, and community across Africa and its Diaspora. The essays in this collection employ diverse interdisciplinary approaches--drawing from subjects such as history, sociology, religion, anthropology, gender studies, feminist studies--in an effort to centralize gender as a category of analysis in developing critical perspectives in a globalizing world. From this approach the authors, scholars from Africa, Europe and the United States, hope to illuminate the effects of issues such as international migration, globalization, and cultural continuities among diaspora communities on the articulation of women’s agency, community organization, and identity formation at the local and the global level.

- Description
- The author examines that the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia's (ICTY) validation of the vulnerable body requires calibration of the legal, political and philosophical grounds of human rights discourses and that this recalibration has radical implications for the future human rights, war time practices and the organization of social political life.

- Description
- This book introduces the human right to adequate food and nutrition as evolving concept and identifies two structural ‘disconnects’ fueling food insecurity for a billion people, and disproportionally affecting women, children, and rural food producers: the separation of women’s rights from their right to adequate food and nutrition, and the fragmented attention to food as commodity and the medicalization of nutritional health.
