Finding Strategic Identities in an Unequal World: Feminist Reflections from India
In: Faye V. Harrison, ed., "Resisting Racism and Xenophobia: Global Perspectives on Race, Gender and Human Rights"
AltaMira Press 2005
|
The collection of essays focuses on the intersections between race, gender, sexuality, class, and nationality that exert a huge influence on human rights conflicts around the world. Using compelling examples, the authors illustrate the central premise that understanding the dynamics of these intersections has important implications for effectively confronting oppression and constructing positive change. Investigating conflicts in Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Australia, they also reflect upon political concerns and anxieties worldwide that have grown out of the catasrophe of 9/11. The contributors comprise an internationally diverse group of anthropologists and human rights activists concerned with global, culturally diverse, gendered experiences. |
