Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This collection of essays offers a comparative analysis of the position of women in North America, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean and in India as well as in various African countries. Based on the belief that women's position in society is best understood in comparative terms, and that development strategies for women should be informed by an international feminist perspective, the authors are particularly concerned with placing issues of gender, race and ethnicity in a comparative perspective and with considering the similarities and differences between women in various parts of the world. Co-published with Dalhousie University Press.
