Recenzii

"Why does the role of women differ from society to society, or more specifically from Anglo-America to Latin America? Although the answers are many, the editors of this collection believe that feminist scholarship on Latin America has failed to take account of the role of the State in defining gender attitudes and relations... solid and interesting."--Times Literary Supplement, 27 October 2000 "This splendid volume is unique for its analytical savvy regarding the gendered history of power, authority, and co-optation in Latin America. Each chapter provides a provocative and detailed rendering of patriarchal societies and women's agency from spaces as varied as households and legislatures. This book will be of wide interest to specialists on the region and, far more broadly, it will spur reinvigorated theoretical debate on the tortuous relationship historically between gender and the state."--Matthew C. Gutmann, author of The Meanings of Macho: Being a Man in Mexico City "This collection promises to be a thought-provoking and well-used source for the continuing debates in this field. A great asset for researchers and students alike."--Sarah Radcliffe, University of Cambridge "Two excellent editors' introductions place the twelve essays, or "case studies", within the existing literature on the dynamic relationship between women, gender, and nation building in Latin America... This is an important contribution ... "--British Bulletin of Publications on Latin America, April 2002
