Recenzii

In this landmark volume, world-class feminists undo Western thinking on gender, development, and modernity. Women's empowerment over materialism, sociality over relentless progress, and sustainability over biological invasion are some of the post development alternatives proposed. Indeed, the lively theory and vivid examples show that the well being of women in the South is tied up with the fate of the planet itself. This indispensable resource will appeal to scholars and activists in many fields.
This is such an up-to-the-feminist-minute book. If one ever imagines that radical feminist thinkers or feminist cultural studies scholars can leave women in development to those who know about digging wells and sampling soil, think again. Kriemild Saunders and her savvy, worldly contributors make one realise that development is about the gendered constructions of desire, romanticism, icons, co-optation, consumerism and green tourism.
Here is a challenging set of inquiries about development from various feminist perspectives, particularly the questions of progress and post-development alternatives. This anthology is a noteworthy contribution to current discussions about globalization, survival, the ecological crisis and strategies for action.
