Description
Banking on the potential for action and the power to enact social change of women of the Global South, this book takes an in-depth look at the theoretical and practical challenges related to gender and development. This feminist teaching tool, clearly written and easy to consult, is specifically designed for undergraduate courses in gender, feminism and international development. Organized into seven sections, it offers readers the most comprehensive panorama of feminist insights on gender and development, informing current debates and case studies in the field. This book stems from the International Congress of Feminist Research in the Francophonie (CIRFF) symposium, “État des lieux sur les perspectives féministes en développement international.” It includes contributions by European, Global South and Canadian researcher/professors and activists dedicated to enriching knowledge of feminism and disseminating it more widely by popularizing the subject. Published in French.
