商品簡介
This is a paperbound reprint of a 2004 book. Scholars and practitioners tend to assume that terms like democracy and development have the same meaning across cultures, and the social scientists and other scholars here test that assumption by comparing women's experiences in two regions with quite different cultural traditions and development trajectories. Contributors from the US, Asia, and Latin America explore politics and the public arena, women at work and at home, and constructions and representations. The 11 essays emerged from a multiyear project based at the University of California-San Diego. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
