Dialogue And Difference

Feminist scholars and activists present diverse conceptual frameworks of transnational/transcultural forms of feminism. Waller (women's studies and comparative literature, U. of California, Riverside) and Marcos, a Mexican author/activist, introduce nine discourses treating efforts (e.g., international conferences, Courts of Women) to transcend First to Third World differences in addressing such global issues as violence against women and sex tourism. Several photos personalize the struggles. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
