Working at the intersection of cultural studies, critical development studies and feminist theory, the book's contributors articulate a radical and innovative framework for understanding the linkages between women, culture and development, applying it to issues ranging from sexuality and the gendered body to the environment, technology and the cultural politics of representation. This revised and updated edition brings together leading academics, as well as a new generation of activists and scholars, to provide a fresh perspective on the ways in which women in the South are transforming our understanding of development."--Publisher's website.FeminismWomenSocial conditionsCross-cultural studiesSex roleCross-cultural studiesDevelopment studiesbicsscFeminism.WomenSocial conditionsSex roleDevelopment studies305.42Bhavnani Kum-KumForan JohnKurian Priya A.Munshi DebashishYDXCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910136611903321Feminist futures3005558UNINA03603nam 2200541 450 991078945490332120230120013755.097814831524480-08-022701-50080227023(CKB)3710000000028322(EBL)1828962(SSID)ssj0001412601(PQKBManifestationID)11807976(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001412601(PQKBWorkID)11410292(PQKB)10474261(MiAaPQ)EBC1828962(EXLCZ)99371000000002832220141118h19801980 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrIntroducing structures a textbook for students of civil and structural engineering, building, and architecture /A.
