Concluding Reflections: Renegotiating Gender in Latin America and the Caribbean /$rMaier, Elizabeth --$tNotes on Contributors --$tIndex 330 $aWomen'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. 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zLatin America 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zCaribbean Area 606 $aFeminism$zLatin America 606 $aFeminism$zCaribbean Area 606 $aWomen$zLatin America$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen$zCaribbean Area$xSocial conditions 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity 615 0$aFeminism 615 0$aFeminism 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 676 $a320.98082 701 $aMaier$b Elizabeth$01709241 701 $aLebon$b Nathalie$01709242 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810693503321 996 $aWomen's activism in Latin America and the Caribbean$94098856 997 $aUNINA
