- Description
- This book explores the ideas and institutions that were framed at the 1994 United Nations population conference in Cairo and traces their trajectories sixteen years down the line. Why were Third World feminists profoundly critical of the Cairo consensus and process? How has the health of people around the world been affected by neo-liberal economic policies? What have these meant for women’s rights, including reproductive rights? The book presents case studies from countries ranging from India and China, to Egypt, Tanzania, Uganda, and across Africa to Argentina, Peru, and throughout Latin America, as well as themed essays. From the politics of abortion and immigration to rising levels of fundamentalist violence and sex selective abortions, the volume explores a range of issues from several vantage points. .

- Description
- This book showcases the transformations that the intellectual and political production of women’s history has engendered across time and space. It considers the difference women’s and gender history has made to and within national fields of study, and to what extent the wider historiography has integrated this new knowledge. What are the accomplishments of women’s and gender history? What are its shortcomings? What is its future? The contributors discuss their discovery of women’s histories, the multiple turns the field has taken, and how place affected the course of this scholarship. Scholars of women’s and gender history, they stand atop such historiographically-defined vantage points as Tsarist Russia, the British Empire in Egypt and India, Qing-dynasty China, and the U.S. roiling through the 1960s.

- Description
- Papers voor het congres van de Women's Studies Association in 1993. De doelstelling van de WSA (Nieuwzeeland) is het bevorderen van radicale maatschappelijke verandering door middel van vrouwenstudies. De organisatie gelooft dat het feministisch perpectief onmisbaar is om onderdrukking op grond van ras, seksuele geaardheid en sociale klasse, zowel als sekse te onderkennen. Zij erkent dat de Maori's de oorspronkelijke rechtmatige bewoners zijn van Nieuwzeeland en dat zij een bizondere verantwoordelijkheid heeft om de onderdrukking van dit volk in haar werk en activiteiten aan de orde te stellen.
