Gendering Globalization, Globalizing Gender

Postcolonial Perspectives

Edited by Gul Caliskan

A unique collection by leading scholars that explores the interplay of gender and globalization through an intersectional and postcolonial lens.

This insightful volume examines crucial questions, issues, and cases related to gender on a global scale. Drawing on an intersectional, postcolonial framework, the text exposes students to a variety of perspectives on how globalization has affected gender issues, and conversely how gender has informed global issues.

Readership : Gendering Globalization, Globalizing Gender is intended for Gender and Globalization courses out of Sociology and Gender Studies departments at the second- to fourth-year level.
