Critics Review
“My thanks to Raewyn Connell and Tristan Bridges for this timely reference book on gender, which revisits theoretical debates and research contributions from different latitudes in the context of a global backlash and the struggle for equality and non-discrimination as a civilizational horizon.”

“Connell and Bridges show how gender has shaped power relations in the postcolonial world. Combining global and local perspectives, they bring in the rich harvest of gender research worldwide. This book is essential reading and a miracle.”
Ilse Lenz, Ruhr University Bochum
