Recenzii
They thoughtfully challenge claims about what should be considered women's issues and interests, focusing on strategies for improving representation that would be adequate to capturing the breadth of issues and interests as experienced from the bottom up...Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
Feminist Democratic Representation offers an entirely fresh take on women's civic engagement. Instead of assuming an inevitable march toward gender equality, Karen Celis and Sarah Childs explore how contemporary norms and practices deem some female voices authoritative while dismissing others as narrow or self-interested. They offer an alternative whereby diverse women speak their truths inside responsive democratic societies and institutions. Here at long last is a compelling vision of vibrant and inclusive public representation.
For anyone who worries about the complicated relationship between gendered demands, political institutions, policy formation, and what representation should be, Feminist Democratic Representation is a revelation. Moving beyond women's presence within deliberative bodies to complicate the political misrepresentation of women, Celis and Childs offer an intersectional analysis to feminist claims for democratic politics. This is the kind of critical analysis that is needed to reimagine how elected officials can both institutionally and systemically represent women.
Feminist Political Representation presents a transformative blueprint for women's group representation in democratic politics. In this compelling, theoretically sophisticated, and engaging study, Celis and Childs argue for a politics that is inclusive, equitable, and responsive to women and women's interests. This book will fundamentally change the way studies of democratic politics view women's representation. It is a must-read for politics scholars, students, politicians, and for anyone with an interest in the quality of democratic politics.
Feminist Democratic Representation offers a powerful and timely critique of the democratic theory of representation. In this must-read, Celis and Childs offer a feminist corrective to our current representational challenges: inclusiveness, responsiveness, and egalitarianism can undergird a transformation of our institutions of representative democracy improving the political representation of women. The brilliance of their approach is that they have grounded their recommendations, spelling out the processes and procedures necessary to create a new feminist democratic representation.
Celis and Childs have produced an imaginative rereading of feminist scholarship and democratic theory to show how the practices of political representation in modern legislatures fail women. Their proposals for reform amount to nothing less than a feminist reimagining of democracy. This book should be read by anyone who is interested in democracy,Âpolitical representation, and politics.
In their authoritative new book, Celis and Childs focus a sharp critical lens on existing feminist and other thinking about democracy and representation, and devise imaginative new proposals for women's parliamentary representation. Written in a clear and assured style, the book will engage, compel, and provoke in equal measure. A fine example of applied theory and institutional design, it disrupts and emboldens our thinking about representative institutions and the voices and interests that can, and should, animate them.
Beyond describing the problem of women's under-representation in governing bodies, Celis and Childs argue that in addressing these systems, we must take into account that women cannot be theorized as a homogeneous group and that it is necessary to devise modes that specify what it means to represent women inclusive of differences that exist among women. This is an important read for those who are searching for a more substantive debate on what constitutes women's interests and who is capable of delivering that representation.
