Through case studies and interview data from across the globe we see how intersectionality and inequality are contextualized shaping womens agencies, gender relations, identity, the politics of belonging, power structures, institutional arrangements, and empowerment (self and/or collective) in local communities and cultures influenced by transnational and global networks and processes. Those who experience inequality, the politics of exclusion and social injustice by virtue of gender, ethnicity and/or class and other differences are the most vulnerable in the face of new adversities, including those that occur in response to globalization. Broader theoretical and methodological contexts for these nation- and region-specific studies are provided in essays by leading gender theorists. Divisions of labor, migration, war and peace-building are among the specific topics addressed in papers from China, India, Israel, Korea, Northern Ireland, Turkey, and the United States. 410 0$aAdvances in gender research ;$vv. 15. 606 $aSocial Science$xGender Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science$xFeminism & Feminist Theory$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aGender studies, gender groups$2bicssc 606 $aSociology$2bicssc 606 $aSex discrimination$vCongresses 615 7$aSocial Science$xGender Studies. 615 7$aSocial Science$xFeminism & Feminist Theory. 615 7$aSocial Science$xGeneral. 615 7$aGender studies, gender groups. 615 7$aSociology. 615 0$aSex discrimination 676 $a305.3 701 $aChow$b Esther Ngan-ling$f1943-$01647122 701 $aSegal$b Marcia Texler$f1940-$01623152 701 $aTan$b Lin$01157827 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817507003321 996 $aAnalyzing gender, intersectionality, and multiple inequalities$94073093 997 $aUNINA
