Contesting Publics: Feminism, Activism, Ethnography by Lynne Phillips,Sally Cole

By Lynne Phillips,Sally Cole

via ethnographic situations and activists’ narratives, Contesting Publics analyses the demanding situations feminists face as they search to have interaction with new areas of participatory democracy in Latin America.

Lynne Phillips and Sally Cole examine how new silences, exclusions and re-inscriptions of inequalities have emerged along those new areas of participation. The ebook re-examines the connection among private and non-private and speaks to a bigger theoretical query: what's the that means of 'the public' inside democracy projects?

Contesting Publics considers present debates between feminists from varied generations at the benefits of quite a few suggestions, targets and concerns, drawing out very important classes for college kids, researchers and activists in anthropology, gender reports and Latin American studies.
