"Misant sur la capacité d'agir et le pouvoir de transformation sociale des femmes des Suds, ce livre examine les enjeux du genre et du développement. Ce manuel féministe, clair et facile à consulter, est spécifiquement conçu pour les cours de premier cycle universitaire sur les femmes, le genre et le développement international. Organisé en sept sections, il offre un panorama aussi vaste que possible des préoccupations féministes reliées au genre et au développement, alimentant ainsi les réflexions et les études de cas dans le domaine. Issu du colloque « État des lieux sur les perspectives féministes en développement international » du Congrès international des recherches féministes dans la francophonie (CIRFF), l'ouvrage propose des contributions de professeures-chercheuses et de militantes européennes, canadiennes et des Suds dédiées à l'avancement des connaissances féministes, à leur diffusion plus large et à leur vulgarisation."

« Les textes présentés dans ce recueil du Black feminism - le premier en France - explorent sur une période de trente ans les thèmes de l'identité, de l'expérience singulière, de la sororité, de la sexualité, comme la place dans les institutions, les coalitions nécessaires et les alliances possibles, les formes culturelles de rébellion et de lutte, le passage de témoin entre générations. Pourquoi, en France, ex-puissance coloniale, l'équivalent d'un féminisme noir n'a-t-il pas existé? Ces textes, par leur vitalité et leur perspicacité politiques, invitent à poser cette question et à s'interroger autrement sur les faux-semblants de l'universalisme républicain comme sur les points aveugles du féminisme français. »-- Quatrième de couverture.

'What is oppression ?' 'What should be done about it ?' Organized around these questions, Theorizing feminisms : a reader provides an overview of theoritical feminist writing about the quest for gender justice. Incorporating both classic and cutting-edge material, the reader takes into account the full diversity of women, highlighting the effects of race, ethnicity, nationality, class, sexuality, and religion on women's experience. Theorizing feminisms is organized into four sections and includes fifty-four essays. The first section introduces several basic concepts commonly employed when thinking about sexism - oppression, social construction, essentialism, intersectionality, gender, race, and class - and also raises questions about the perspective and legitimacy of the theorist. The second section surveys three approaches that attempt to characterize in a general way the source of injustice toward women : humanist feminism ('the sameness approach'), gynocentric feminism ('the difference approach'), and dominance feminism. Offering an alternate perspective, the third section introduces two 'localizing' approaches, grounded in postmodernism and identity politics, respectively. Skeptical of theories that attempt to analyze social phenomena across history and culture, authors in this section challenge, rather than answer, the text's organizing questions. The final section explores the relationship of feminism theory to three liberatory projects - postcolonialism, neo-materialism, and queer theory - that do not characterize themselves as feminist, yet take gender as a significant category of analysis. Each section opens with an introduction and each essay is followed by helpful study questions. the majority of the essays are presented in their entirety. Theorizing feminisms underscores the strong connection between feminist theory and practice by including essays that illustrate important political inspirations or applications of each theoritical approach. It also presents versions of the same approach from various points in history, revealing feminist theory to be dynamic and evolving, rather than static. Ideal for interdisciplinary courses in feminist theory, this volume will also serve as an invaluable reference for current and future generations of theorists."
