The essays analyze the gendered politics of state power, language, culture, history, social movements, human rights and knowledge. Scholars and activists map the debates that have broken new ground in Latin American gender studies, criticizing shortcomings and speculating on future directions. In their examination of everyday struggles over gender politics, the contributors illustrate the link between political action and conceptual debates.
