Routledge International Handbook of Feminisms and Gender Studies

This handbook is a fundamental contribution to the recent history and contemporary context of feminist, gender, and women's studies in a global perspective. It tackles current developments in the area, by examining their multiple configurations in different countries across the world and taking stock of the tensions and controversies that have recently emerged against and within the field. The volume is unique in bringing together essays from renowned feminist and gender studies academics from the global north and global south, as well as early stage, emerging scholars. The diversity of the geopolitical and disciplinary locations and the quality of their reflections provides rich, comprehensive, and interdisciplinary discussions that are rarely found in similar collections, making this an essential resource for advanced students and academics in the field.
