The contributors to this volume work at the intersection of cultural studies, feminist studies, and critical development studies to articulate a new framework that they call Women, Culture and Development. The editors trace its genealogies and potential in their introduction, and the several parts of the book ground it by applying it to a range of issues including sexuality and the gendered body; environment, technology and science; and the cultural politics of representation. The result is a fresh vantage point on pressing issues of global development and a new paradigm for scholars and activists to consider. This interdisciplinary book, spanning diversely situated regions of the world, connects scholarship and social change and juxtaposes the past, present and the future to suggest a new lens through which to look at the situation of women in the global south. This volume will be of interest to scholars in development, international, global and comparative studies; women's studies; cultural studies; and the humanities and social sciences associated with all of these.
