Dislocating Cultures: Identities, Traditions, and Third-World Feminism (Thinking Gender)

Rating:
Summary: India-specific analysis is excellent
Review: Anyone researching the role of women in India won't want to miss this -- the author speaks insightfully about her feminism being a result of her personal experiences in India, while her mother and others accuse her of being "brainwashed" by Westerners. Narayan makes a strong case for "organic" Third World feminism.

Rating:
Summary: An award-winning book!
Review: This book was awarded the American Political Science Association's Victoria Schuck Award for the best book on women and politics for 1997.
