Reviews
In this exciting and diverse collection, the editors bring together international perspectives on feminist problems both philosophical and practical. From feminism's links to Buddhism, to third-wave activism, to women and militarism, contributors take up novel examples and work them through with philosophical acumen and political vigor. Refreshing, smart, and spirited, this collection will be an invaluable teaching tool and scholarly resource for feminists, philosophers, and everyone in between. -- Cressida J. Heyes, Canada Research Chair in Philosophy of Gender and Sexuality, University of Alberta
The breadth of this volume is both its strength and a shortcoming....The chapters are consistently thought-provoking and timely, and the book as a whole challenges us to recognize the complexity of contemporary feminist theorizing and the pressing need for libreratory praxis. -- . * APA Newsletter on Feminism and Philosophy, Spring 2008, Vol 7, No 2 *
Exceptionally brilliant philosophical interpretation of feminist politics.... Critical but refreshing insights.... Outstanding scholarly work on identity and feminist politics. -- J. Shola Omotola * Journal Of Men, Masculinities and Spirituality, January 2009, Vol 3, No 1 *
Feminist Politics addresses two issues that are on the forefront of contemporary feminist theory and practice: identity and political divisions. The contributors' analyses of these issues, as well as the related topics of globalization, intersectionality, third wave feminism and many others, is rich and highly-nuanced, due in large part to the international scope of the collection. The authors provide a unique and insightful perspective that fills a gap in feminist discussions. -- Susan Hekman, University of Texas, Arlington
