- Description
- This collection of essays brings together a diverse range of voices that speak to the issues of home, gender, and identity. The contributors are experts on the political economy of the female body. Using an interdisciplinary approach, these writers explore how the victimization, dehumanization, and marginalization of women affect the identity of the female body both individually and communally. The essays include information on the ideologies of the human body in the West, the challenges women face in securing the material needs to create healthy homes and bodies, and environments where feminist practices have made a difference. Home/Bodies includes contributions by several new-generation feminist scholars and researchers, along with established teachers, researchers, and activists in the academy and the community.
