3 total works
This issue of Feminist Review presents new empirical research carried out in a range of contexts but with the common theme of interrogating existing theorizations of gender, 'race' and class. It also addresses global policy agendas and transition points in women's lives. The focus on empirical work leads to consideration of issues in research methodology.
Issue 70
The last five years of the 20th century has seen an explosion of protest against global capitalism. However, there has been limited attention paid to the role feminisms are playing in the politics of globalization. This issue seeks to consider both the macro and the micro processes of globalization as they affect women's lives, and to make a distinctively feminist contribution to current debates over globalization.
Issue 79
Articles in this issue are written by leading feminist historians, sociologists and literary specialists, whose field of research is Latin America. They focus on militarism and patriarchy from the Wars of Independence from Spain (1810-1826) until today, with special emphasis on Chile and Mexico. These articles raise important issues regarding the role of women in societies in crisis and gendered constructions of national and continental identities in the transition from colonial to postcolonial dependency.
