Produktbeschreibung

Feminism/Postmodernism/Development brings postmodern questions to the field of gender and development, and not only acknowledges the importance of Third World women's experiences in development issues, but attempts a workable communication between Western theory and Third World practice.

---

Drawing on the experiences of women from Africa, Latin America and Asia, this book challenges traditional development practices of North over South, arguing for the inclusion of issues such as identity and political action as the way forward.
