Klappentext Adopting the notion of 'third world' as a political and geographical category, this volume analyses marginalized women's experiences of globalization. It unravels the intersections of race, culture, ethnicity, nationality, and class that have shaped the position of these women in the global political economy, as well as their cultural and national history. In addition to a thematically structured and highly informative investigation, the authors offer an exploration of policy implications, which are commonly neglected in mainstream literature.
