Description du livre
Canadian and international authors offer ground-breaking work in this
collection that brings together almost seventy articles by formative
feminist writers, researchers, activists and visionaries to illuminate
the profound globalizing processes of our time. Critical analyses of current globalization and
possible alternatives are presented in the context of global feminist
dialogue and activism since the 1980s. Together, the articles provide a
comprehensive overview of the agenda and processes of neo-liberal globalization; women’s
activist responses to the consequent environmental and social
destruction; and visionary feminist alternatives and worldviews. As well
as women’s studies courses, this collection
will be an indispensable resource for teachers seeking
globally-informed, gender-, race-, class-, and Indigenous- aware
Canadian resources for the study of sociology, international
development, environmental studies, political economy, women’s
human rights, labour studies, social policy, social work, international
relations, migration/immigration, violence, poverty, militarism,
colonialism and post-colonialism, social movements, global feminisms,
peace, community organizing, sustainability and alternative
possibilities.
