"The Routledge Companion to Feminist Philosophy is an outstanding guide and reference source to the key topics, subjects, thinkers, and debates in feminist philosophy. Fifty-six chapters, written by an international team of contributors specifically for the Companion, are organized into five sections: (1) Engaging the Past; (2) Mind, Body, and World; (3) Knowledge, Language, and Science; (4) Intersections; (5) Ethics, Politics, and Aesthetics. The volume provides a mutually enriching representation of the several philosophical traditions that contribute to feminist philosophy. It also foregrounds issues of global concern and scope; shows how feminist theory meshes with rich theoretical approaches that start from transgender identities, race and ethnicity, sexuality, disabilities, and other axes of identity and oppression; and highlights the interdisciplinarity of feminist philosophy and the ways that it both critiques and contributes to the whole range of subfields within philosophy."--The publisher.

How are social inequalities experienced, reproduced and challenged in local, global and transnational spaces? What role does the control of space play in distribution of crucial resources and forms of capital (housing, education, pleasure, leisure, social relationships)? The case studies in Geographies of Privilege demonstrate how power operates and is activated within local, national, and global networks. Twine and Gardener have put together a collection that analyzes how the centrality of spaces (domestic, institutional, leisure, educational) are central to the production, maintenance and transformation of inequalities. The collected readings show how power--in the form of economic, social, symbolic, and cultural capital--is employed and experienced. The volume's contributors take the reader to diverse sites, including brothels, blues clubs, dance clubs, elite schools, detention centers, advocacy organizations, and public sidewalks in Canada, Italy, Spain, United Arab Emirates, Mozambique, South Africa, and the United States. Geographies of Privilege is the perfect teaching tool for courses on social problems, race, class and gender in Geography, Sociology and Anthropology.

Le désordre urbain et les défis environnementaux que nous connaissons ne sont pas perçus ni vécus pareillement aux Suds et aux Nords, par les femmes et les hommes, par les puissants et les exclus. Les mouvements populaires urbains et de lutte pour l'environnement participent de la réflexion sur les changements de paradigme de développement qui sont urgents et nécessaires. La perspective de genre donne des clés de lecture pour comprendre comment les asymétries féminin-masculin structurent la perception et l’organisation concrète de la vie sociale. La forte présence des femmes dans les organisations urbaines et de lutte pour l’environnement est généralement peu ou pas reconnue. Ce livre explore certains mouvements populaires urbains, qui participent au travail de prise de conscience et de revendications de droits et qui permettent ainsi d'envisager des alternatives sur des territoires de vie, sans plus attendre.
