More about the book
Chilla Bulbeck challenges the dominant narrative of white, western feminism by exploring the diverse experiences of women of color in rural India, Thailand, and the Philippines. She delves into themes of human rights, family dynamics, sexuality, and the balance between individualism and community, highlighting how these concepts differ globally. By examining the perspectives of non-western women on western feminist theories and politics, Bulbeck offers a critical analysis that broadens the understanding of feminism beyond contemporary Anglophone concerns.
