Recent feminist scholarship in development studies has produced new theoretical frameworks, methodologies, and empirical analyses of how women, gender, and feminism are situated within and affect the development process. Transnational feminism in particular offers an innovative approach to understanding the connections between diverse geographical contexts and social relations that intersect with globalization, gendered inequities, livelihoods, and activism.
Gender, Development and Transnational Feminism draws upon theoretical and empirical research to examine how women negotiate and contest gendered political, economic, and social forces in various geographical contexts and regions. Part I explores feminist perspectives on neoliberal globalization to highlight conceptual issues surrounding public and private provision of services in the context of neoliberal economic and political processes. Part II offers a conceptual synthesis of research methodologies used in gender and development studies with an emphasis on applied aspects of feminist methodologies. Part III examines resources and the environment to explore how environmental disasters, threats and recovery efforts are gendered. Studies from different world regions illustrate the relevance of transnational feminist analyses in mitigating environmental and disaster impacts. Finally, Part IV analyzes gendered mobility and social movements that are linked to global economic, cultural, and political forces. The chapters illustrate how gender roles and power relations in the household and community can be transformed by women's agency, transnational struggles, and grassroots organizations, while emphasizing human rights and gender equity.
This timely volume provides global case studies and cross-national comparisons to illustrate how the relationship between gender and development traverses multiple scales, and how transnational feminism enriches the field of gender and development. It presents innovative ways to dismantle oppression, enact agency in ways to empower, and challenge hegemonic discourses of globalization and development that support patriarchal and hierarchical patterns of power. This volume will appeal to a broad audience interested in Geography, International Relations, Development Studies and Women's and Gender Studies.
