内容説明

Women's Activism in Latin America and the Caribbean brings together a group of interdisciplinary scholars who analyse and document the diversity, vibrancy, and effectiveness of women's experiences and organising in Latin America and the Caribbean during the past four decades. Most of the expressions of collective agency are analysed in this book within the context of the neoliberal model of globalisation that has seriously affected most Latin American and Caribbean women's lives in multiple ways. Contributors explore the emergence of the area's feminist movement, dictatorships of the 1970s, the Central American uprisings, the urban, grassroots organising for better living conditions, and finally, the turn toward public policy and formal political involvement and the alternative globalisation movement. Geared toward bridging cultural realities, this volume represents women's transformations, challenges, and hopes, while considering the analytical tools needed to dissect the realities, understand the alternatives, and promote gender democracy.
