Gender and Global Restructurings

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"In this era of multiple and overlapping crises - social, health, ecological, military, economic, political and others - a new edition of Marchand and Runyan's classic collection could not be more timely. Completely revised, this new edition provides critical and cutting-edge analysis of the gendered nature of the global economy and the ways in which it is being restructured. Contributors to the volume do not leave us in despair, but also provide insights into specific examples of women's and feminist resistances to neoliberal and neoauthoritarian policies and practices. As these authors show, these creative and inclusive forms of resistance have the potential to dislodge and subvert dominant actors and provide hope for more egalitarian and sustainable futures."

Laura Macdonald, Professor, Department of Political Science and Institute of Political Economy, Carleton University, Canada

"Gender and Global Restructurings, in its third edition is a timely, robust and nuanced feminist response to capitalism's various crises and how we can understand and resist these. In its reach, analyses and hopes it underlines the importance of feminist work on global capitalism and its pitfalls in its intersectional manifestations as well as how these pitfalls can be addressed through activism and solidarity. A book that clearly responds to the biggest challenges of our times and will therefore be of interest to students and all those who wish to understand our current dilemmas."

Shirin Rai, Distinguished Research Professor, Department of Politics and International Relations, SOAS University of London, UK

"This third edition of Gender and Global Restructurings, which includes several new chapters, powerfully reminds us of the many ways global capitalism intertwines with so many other processes of our time: From racial, homo-, and disaster capitalism to philanthro-, surveillance, and gore capitalisms, the feminist scholars in this volume continue to call out the most problematic capitalist logics and seek ways to imagine more just socioeconomic, political, and ecological futures for us all."

"Una gran contribucion a la literatura academica... La obra esta editada y escrita exclusivamente por mujeres academicas, quienes, desde los Nortes y, sobre todo, los Sures Globales, analizan temas de gran importancia relacionados con los Estudios Criticos de Genero, las Relaciones Internacionales y sus subdisciplinas. El hecho de que este escrito por mujeres es digno de celebracion, dado que contribuye a llenar un vacio en la literatura... El libro se divide en tres secciones: miradas, territorios y resistencias, en las que se ofrece una critica profunda al capitalismo global y a diversas formas de opresion en los ambitos economico, politico, social, militar, ambiental, laboral, salud, entre otros. En suma, este libro es: "Para todas aquellas personas que resisten la desigualdad y la injusticia social", ya que crea conciencia y moviliza para la accion. Por lo que es imperdible para el estudiantado, profesores, activistas y personas que quieren cambiar el mundo." / "A major contribution to the academic literature... The work is edited and written exclusively by women academics, who, from the North and, especially, the Global South, analyze important topics related to Critical Gender Studies, International Relations, and their subdisciplines. The fact that it is written by women is worthy of celebration, as it helps fill a much-needed gap in literature... The book is divided into three sections: Perspectives, Territories, and Resistance, which offer a profound critique of global capitalism and various forms of oppression in the economic, political, social, military, environmental, labor, and health spheres, among others. In short, this book is "For all those who resist inequality and social injustice," as it raises awareness and mobilizes action. Therefore, it is a must-read for students, teachers, activists, and people who want to change the world."
