This approach proves particularly fruitful for the dynamic field of global gender and women’s history. By looking at the restless lives and work of women’s activists in informal border-crossings, ephemeral NGOs, the lower management of established international organizations, and other global networks, this volume reflects the potential of a new perspective that allows for a more adequate analysis of transnational activities. By pointing out cultural hierarchies, the vicissitudes of translation and re-interpretation, and the ambiguity of intercultural exchange, this volume demonstrates the critical potential of transnational history. It allows us to see the limits of universalist and cosmopolitan claims so dear to many historical actors and historians.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 567gContributor: Oliver Janz (Edited by), Daniel Schönpflug (Edited by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Society & CultureAuthor: Oliver JanzRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
