Covering a wide range of issues and areas, from cotton production in Bombay, to conditions in Mexico and in some of the Far East economies, the contributors attempt to break down some of the ideological barriers that colonialism and racism build up among women. The immediacy of these accounts brings to life women's experience in a variety of patriarchal societies and also serves to underline the book's topicality in a time of particular global economic hardship. Dignity and Daily Bread will make a significant contribution to both women's studies and development studies. In association with Amazon.com | |
