About this Item

: En 'Catching a Wave: Reclaiming Feminism for the 21st Century', se presenta una provocativa colección de ensayos originales que identifican una tercera ola del feminismo. Los colaboradores argumentan que la próxima generación necesita desarrollar un feminismo politizado y colectivo que se base en las estrategias de las feministas de la segunda ola y se fundamente en las realidades materiales y la cultura del siglo XXI. Organizado en cinco secciones que reflejan las etapas de la concienciación, este libro ofrece una mirada atractiva y a menudo vanguardista sobre una amplia gama de perspectivas sobre la diversidad, la complejidad, la multiplicidad y el carácter lúdico de la tercera ola. Es también una llamada a la acción para que nuevas voces redefinan un feminismo que no sólo sea consciente a nivel personal, sino también comprometido a nivel político.

About this title

Synopsis

Young women today have benefited from the strides made by grassroots social activists in the 1960s and 1970s, yet they are hesitant to identify themselves as feminists and seem apathetic about carrying the torch of older generations to redress persistent sexism and gender-based barriers. Contesting the notion that we are in a post-feminist age, this provocative collection of original essays identifies a third wave of feminism. The contributors argue that the next generation needs to develop a politicized, collective feminism that both builds on the strategies of second wave feminists and is grounded in the material realities and culture of the twenty-first century.

Organized in five sections that mirror the stages of consciousness-raising, this is an engaging, often edgy, look at a broad range of perspectives on the diversity, complexity, multiplicity, and playfulness of the third wave. It is also a call to action for new voices to redefine a feminism that is not only personally aware but also politically involved.
