摘要
The authors collected in Gendering Global Transformations: Gender, Culture,nbsp;Race, and Identitynbsp;probe thenbsp;effects of global and local forcesnbsp;in reshaping notions ofnbsp;gender, race, class, identity, human rights, andnbsp;community across Africa and its Diaspora.nbsp;Thenbsp;essays in this unique collectionnbsp;employ diversenbsp;interdisciplinary approaches--drawing from subjects such as history, sociology, religion, anthropology, gender studies, feminist studies--in an effort to centralize gender as a category of analysis in developingnbsp;critical perspectivesnbsp;in a globalizing world. From this approach come a host ofnbsp;exciting insights and subtle analyses that serve to illuminate the effects of issues such as international migration, globalization, and cultural continuities among diaspora communities on the articulation of women's agency, community organization, and identity formationnbsp;at the local and the global level. Bringingnbsp;together thenbsp;voices of scholars from Africa, Europe and the United States,nbsp;Gendering Global Transformations: Gender, Culture,nbsp;Race, and Identity, offers a multi-national and wholly original perspective on thenbsp;intricacies of life in a globalized era.
