Full Description

Leading scholar, Birte Siim, presents an erudite examination of gender and politics from intersectional, transnational and postnational perspectives. Addressing key areas of classical and contemporary feminism, Siim explores the influence of diverse national, socio-economic and political contexts on gender politics across the globe.

Examining feminist methodologies, theories and research, the book investigates key feminist topics such as rethinking patriarchy and the critique of the public-private divide, as well as more contemporary discussions including the postcolonial feminist critique of methodological nationalism, Western universalism and Eurocentrism. It highlights how gender scholarship is informed by global socio-economic developments, geopolitical issues and crises such as the wars in Afghanistan and Syria. Looking ahead, Siim calls for future gender politics scholarship to consider feminist ecological approaches and advocates for strategies which centre social, reproductive and climate justice.

Rethinking Gender and Politics is an essential resource for students and academics in gender studies, political science, sociology and development studies. It is also a valuable read for practitioners, activists and policymakers involved in feminism, climate justice and decolonization.
