Product Description
Global Critical Race Feminism is the first anthology to focus explicitly on the legal rights of women of color around the world. Containing nearly thirty essays, the book addresses such topical themes as responses to white feminism; the flashpoint issue of female genital mutilation; the intersections of international law with U.S. law; "Third World" women in the "First World;" violence against women; and the global workplace. Broadly representative, the reader addresses the role and status-legal and otherwise-of women in such countries as Cuba, New Zealand, France, Serbia, Nicaragua, Colombia, South Africa, Japan, China, Australia, Ghana, and many others. Authors include: Aziza al-Hibri, Penelope Andrews, Taimie Bryant, Devon Carbado, Mai Chen, Brenda Cossman, Lisa Crooms, Mary Dudziak, Isabelle Gunning, Anna Han, Berta Hernndez, Laura Ho, Sharon Hom, Rosemary King, Kiyoko Knapp, Hope Lewis, Martha Morgan, Zorica Mrsevic, Vasuki Nesiah, Leslye Obiora, Gaby Oré-Aguilar, Catherine Powell, Jenny Rivera, Celina Romany, Judy Scales-Trent, Antoinette Sedillo Lopez, J. Clay Smith, and Leti Volpp.

 An Important Contribution November 28, 2000
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Although Global Critical Race Feminism is a rich reference work useful in the creation of scholarship, it is also a must for anyone interested in social justice. Taken together, the thoughtful and reader-friendly essays are context-specific and avoid generalizations, but at the same time show that ethnic and sexual oppression are not merely isolated aberrations but worldwide structural problems that deserve serious attention.

This is a comprehensive, compelling collection sure to become a classic in sociology, anthropology, education political science, psychology and law. As diverse and intricate as the lives of women of color are, so are the essays included in this reader. It is truly powerful!
