Gender and the Politics of Possibilities: Rethinking Globablization (Gender Lens Series)

Gender and the Politics of Possibilities explores the lesser-known side of globalization beyond the effects of national governments and multinational cooperations by taking a look at grassroots movements by women that have and continue to shape globalization today. Manisha Desai highlights the significant role that women play in cross-border trade in Africa, in transborder activism on issues that affect women, and in cultural change and social justice.

Manisha Desai is director of women's studies and associate professor of sociology at the University of Connecticut.
