Concluding Reflections: Renegotiating Gender in Latin America and the Caribbean /Maier, Elizabeth --Notes on Contributors --IndexWomen's Activism in Latin America and the Caribbean brings together a group of interdisciplinary scholars who analyze and document the diversity, vibrancy, and effectiveness of women's experiences and organizing in Latin America and the Caribbean during the past four decades. Most of the expressions of collective agency are analyzed in this book within the context of the neoliberal model of globalization that has seriously affected most Latin American and Caribbean women's lives in multiple ways. Contributors explore the emergence of the area's feminist movement, dictatorships of the 1970's, the Central American uprisings, the urban, grassroots organizing for better living conditions, and finally, the turn toward public policy and formal political involvement and the alternative globalization movement. Geared toward bridging cultural realities, this volume represents women's transformations, challenges, and hopes, while considering the analytical tools needed to dissect the realities, understand the alternatives, and promote gender democracy.WomenPolitical activityLatin AmericaWomenPolitical activityCaribbean AreaFeminismLatin AmericaFeminismCaribbean AreaWomenLatin AmericaSocial conditionsWomenCaribbean AreaSocial conditionsWomenPolitical activityWomenPolitical activityFeminismFeminismWomenSocial conditions.WomenSocial conditions.320.98082Maier Elizabeth1709241Lebon Nathalie1709242MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810693503321Women's activism in Latin America and the Caribbean4098856UNINA
