Recenzii

"This publication – one of the few completely dedicated to women’s rights in the country – is valuable because it goes beyond providing information on and interpretations of gender relations in what used to be referred to as the ‘world’s newest nation’, to reach conclusions applicable to most countries in transition. The positives of the existence of powerful queens in pre-colonial and colonial Timor, and the roles of women in the war for independence and the progress in their political representation, are counterbalanced by the persistence of gender-based violence/violence against women, and of deep gender inequalities in education, nutritional status, health, land ownership, and earnings."
Ines Smyth, Independent Consultant, UK, Gender & Development, Vol. 25, No. 1
"In one of the strongest chapters in the volume, Silva and Simião deconstruct some of the foundational concepts upon which discourses of gender are based. Their discussion of culture as a political and explanatory device, and its complex relationship with modernity, provides a critical layer to understandings of social action around the politics of gender. Niner’s concluding remarks take up these activist connotations, laying out a practical gender research agenda for Timor-Leste. In doing so, Niner articulates a diverse and broad-ranging platform that would be most provocative for researchers and practitioners engaged in gender-related research in Timor-Leste."
Hannah Loney, Australian Catholic University, International Feminist Journal of Politics, Vol. 20, No. 1
