Handbook of International Feminisms by Rutherford, Alexandra; Capdevila, Rose; Undurti, Vindhya; Palmary, Ingrid;

Long description:

"

The goal of Handbook of International Perspectives on Feminism is to present the histories, status, and contours of feminist research and practice in their respective regional and/or national contexts. The editors have invited researchers who are doing this work to present their perspectives on women, culture, and rights with the objective to illuminate the diverse forms that feminist psychological work takes around the world, and connect these forms with the unique positions and concerns of women in these regions.

What does ""feminist psychology"" look like in Japan? In South Africa? In Sri Lanka? In Canada? In Brazil? How did it come to look this way? How do psychologists in these countries or regions, each with unique political, economic, and cultural histories, engage in feminist work in the societies in which they live? How do they employ the tools of ""psychology"" – broadly defined – to do this work, and what tensions and challenges have they faced?
