Bose, Christine E.

Global gender research : transnational perspectives / Christine E. Bose and Minjeong Kim - New York Routledge 2009 - 368 p.

This volume provides an in-depth comparative picture of the current state of feminist sociological gender and women's studies research in four regions of the world—Africa, Asia, Latin America/the Caribbean and Europe—as represented by many countries. The introductory essay to each region explains how social science research on women and/or gender issues has been shaped by economics, politics and culture and by trends that are simultaneously local, regional and global. It familiarizes readers with the wide range of salient issues, research methods, writing styles and leading authors from around the globe.
