Praise for "Political Worlds of Women" by Mary Hawkesworth
Mary Hawkesworth has given us an amazing gift: a truly global
exploration of women activists' thinking and strategizing that
never slips into bland generalization. "Political Worlds of Women"
shows us how densely rich and locally rooted feminist activist
experience has been, from Nigeria to Pakistan, from the US to
France. Here is a book we'll all be assigning to our students for
years to come.
Cynthia Enloe, author of The Curious Feminist
Broad in its scope, radical in its theory and careful in its
scholarship, "Political Worlds of Women" offers a truly
transformative synthesis of global gender politics. Hawkesworth's
integrative vision encompasses both the conventional institutional
narratives of political science and the most challenging insights
of transnational feminism. She brilliantly rethinks familiar
concepts like identity politics and embodied citizenship,
challenges the divisions among comparative politics, international
relations, and theory, and provides a wealth of empirical detail
about women's raced-gendered realities around the world. This book
offers insights to the seasoned feminist scholar no less than to
students in their first course in gender and politics.
Myra Marx Ferree, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Political Worlds of Women is new and refreshing; a clear departure
from current gender and politics textbooks. Mary Hawkesworth
combines cross-national and global transnational perspectives
without getting mired down into focusing on a specific set of
countries or regions. She takes an intersectional approach showing
how gender has been intertwined with race/ethnicity, sexuality,
class in the unfolding of politics and democratic development
throughout the globe. A perfect book to adopt for gender and
politics courses in the 21st century!!
Amy G. Mazur, Washington State University
"Political Worlds of Women" is a forceful and comprehensive account
of the dynamic intersection of gender and race and the embodiment
of power in contemporary global politics. It is a must read!
Dr. Janine Brodie, University of Alberta
"Political Worlds of Women" deepens understandings of national and
global citizenship and presents the formidable challenges facing
racial and gender justice in the contemporary world. It is an
essential resource for students and scholars of women s studies and
gender politics.
