| Adopting the notion of 'Third World' as a political as well as a geographical category, this volume analyzes marginalized women's experiences of globalization. It unravels the intersections of race, culture, ethnicity, nationality and class which have shaped the position of these women in the global political economy, their cultural and their national history. In addition to a thematically structured and highly informative investigation, the authors offer an exploration of the policy implications which are commonly neglected in mainstream literature. The voices, experiences, and actions of Third World women documented and analyzed in this volume provide the insight and hope that change is possible, and that a more just, more equitable, more sustainable world is achievable.
