Adopting the notion of "third world" as a political and geographical
category, this volume analyzes 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. The result is an invaluable
volume for scholars in the fields of sociology and women’s studies, social
policy experts, and professionals working within non-governmental
organizations.
