内容説明

Has feminism transformed development studies? What happens to feminist theory and practice within the development industry? This book brings together a variety of feminist ativists and academics, from both North and South, engaged in development, to answer these questions. Each describes her project and its feminist rationale, and analyses it through three fundamental challenges: the problem of making a feminist agenda work within development agencies, including the difficulties of finding funding and the constraints imposed by funders; the ethical and methodological issues raised by feminism - including the differences between women and the legitimacy of studying 'the Other'; the challenge of international feminism: looking for new ways to work together for global change without imposing 'Western feminism' on Southern women. Including feminist projects from the 'South in the North', the book explores how 'global feminism' actually works in a variety of ways, through both activism and academic research. It is a fascinating insight into the challenges and rewards of feminist theory in practice. As such it is necessary reading for practitioners, policy-makers, activists and academics in gender and development as well as all students and academics of women's studies.
