Abstract

Avant même que le terme « mondialisation » fût introduit dans les débats politiques, des recherches genre se penchaient déjà sur les entreprises transnationales et la nouvelle division internationale du travail. Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les dimensions économiques, politiques et culturelles du processus de mondialisation, essentiellement à travers leurs effets sur les rapports de genre. L'ouvrage montre que les processus de la mondialisation sont étroitement liés à la vie quotidienne des femmes dans les quatre coins du monde. Elles sont contraintes à faire des choix qui affectent leurs sécurités existantes. Elles ouvrent néanmoins de nouvelles voies et de nouveaux défis qui peuvent - dans certains cas - bousculer les rapports de genre.

Abstract

Globalization is not a new phenomenon; women throughout the world have been dealing with the circumstances and consequences of an international economy long before the advent of the transnational corporate conglomerate. However, in a mercenary example of the tried clich "the more things change, the more they stay the same," women-particularly those of color-continue to be relegated to the lowest rung of the occupational ladder, where their indispensable contributions to global market capitalism are downplayed or invalidated completely through the perpetuation of stereotypes and the denial of access to better job opportunities and resources. How women of color around the world adapt and challenge the economic, political, and social effects of globalization is the subject of this broad-minded and incisive anthology. From Mexico, Jamaica, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and Sri Lanka, to immigrant and non-immigrant communities in the United States-the women documented in these essays are agricultural and factory workers, artists and entrepreneurs, mothers and activists. Their stories bear stark witness to how globalization continues to develop new sites and forms of exploitation, while its apparent victims continue to be women, men, and children of color.

Abstract

Bekeken door een feministische bril ziet de wereld(problematiek) er anders uit, worden er andere vragen gesteld en alternatieve methodes aangewend om deze vragen te beantwoorden. Terwijl de traditionele discipline meer oog had voor het thema veiligheid vanuit het perspectief en op het niveau van soevereine staten, focussen feministen meer op de vraag hoe de wereldpolitiek bijdraagt aan de onveiligheid van individuen, vooral in ontwikkelingslanden. De volgende thema's komen in het boek aan bod: traditionele en feministische theoretische debatten in de leer der internationale betrekkingen; oorlog, vrede en veiligheid; mensenrechten en globalisering van de economie; democratisering en de moderne staat. In een laatste hoofdstuk wordt bekeken welke implicaties deze 'andere kijk op de wereld' heeft voor verder feministisch onderzoek.

Abstract

America's foremost novelist reflects on the themes that preoccupy her work and increasingly dominate national and world politics: race, fear, borders, the mass movement of peoples, the desire for belonging. What is race and why does it matter? What motivates the human tendency to construct Others? Why does the presence of Others make us so afraid? Drawing on her Norton Lectures, Toni Morrison takes up these and other vital questions bearing on identity in The Origin of Others. In her search for answers, the novelist considers her own memories as well as history, politics, and especially literature. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, and Camara Laye are among the authors she examines. Readers of Morrison's fiction will welcome her discussions of some of her most celebrated books--Beloved, Paradise, and A Mercy. If we learn racism by example, then literature plays an important part in the history of race in America, both negatively and positively. Morrison writes about nineteenth-century literary efforts to romance slavery, contrasting them with the scientific racism of Samuel Cartwright and the banal diaries of the plantation overseer and slaveholder Thomas Thistlewood. She looks at configurations of blackness, notions of racial purity, and the ways in which literature employs skin color to reveal character or drive narrative. Expanding the scope of her concern, she also addresses globalization and the mass movement of peoples in this century. National Book Award winner Ta-Nehisi Coates provides a foreword to Morrison's most personal work of nonfiction to date.
