In the process, they develop a feminist framework for understanding that movement. But, more importantly, the book is a testimony to the notion that global justice is for EVERY INDIVIDUAL! -- Marianne H. Marchand, Universidad de las Américas, Puebla\u003cbr\u003eIn this empirically rich and lucid book, Catherine Eschle and Bice Maiguashca make a very convincing case both for the marginalization of feminist antiglobalization activism from the academic and activist literatures on the global justice movement, and, more importantly, for how this exclusion limits the empirical and conceptual contours of the global justice movement. . . . An important theoretical and political contribution to the global justice movement. -- Manisha Desai, University of Connecticut\u003cbr\u003eEschle and Maiguashca explore an original subject using innovative theoretical tools and rich empirical information (including extensive interviews). At a time of transition in global politics and the social movements that react to and interact with the power structure of the international arena, the authors remind students and scholars alike to reflect on the power relations within progressive movements as well. The authors explore the activities of feminist anti-globalization activists, the tools that scholars and students need to analyze those activities, and the implications of feminist anti-globalization activism for thinking about the global justice movement as a whole. This work is crucially important and well done in a way accessible to scholars, students, and practitioners. . . . Essential. * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003eEschle and Maiguashca succeed in their attempts to challenge commentary on the role of identity within the global justice movement literature. . . . The authors deepen our understanding of the global justice movement and the [World Social Forum] process while developing a vital critique of the literature on the global justice movement. This book will be of interest not only in its refinement of our understanding of the global justice movement but also in providing a case of uncovering the neglect of feminism activism within studies of social movements. This book builds on and contributes to the literature on the exclusion of women within social movement organizing and therefore is of interest to scholars of feminist activism. It also could serve as a primer for social movement students interested in the global justice movement. . . . A must read for antiglobalization activists of all types for its insightful critiques of both the global justice movement and the social forum process. * Mobilization *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a great book that fills an important gap in the literature. -- Erin Kenny, Drury University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Making Feminist Sense of the Global Justice Movement Chapter 1: Constructing Feminist Antiglobalization Activism Chapter 2: Skeleton Woman at the World Social Forum: Feminist Struggles for Visibility, Voice and Influence, 2001–2005 Chapter 3: Feminist Encounters at the World Social Forum 2003–2005: Uncovering Diversity and Situating Knowledge Chapter 4: Mapping Feminist Antiglobalization Activism Chapter 5: Uncovering Origins: Past and Present Sources of Agency for Feminist Antiglobalization Activism Chapter 6: Naming the Enemy: Feminist Antiglobalization Activists Confront Oppression Chapter 7: Imagining Other Worlds: The Utopian Dimension of Feminist Antiglobalization Activism Chapter 8: Collective Action: The Political Practices of Feminist Antiglobalization Activists Chapter 9: Forging Solidarity: Mobilizing Identities in Feminist Antiglobalization Activism Conclusion: Rethinking the Global Justice Movement","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037625286999,"sku":"9780742555938","price":38.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780742555938.jpg?v=1750936558","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/making-feminist-sense-of-the-global-justice-movement-9780742555938","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
