Feminisms, democratization and radical democracy

Feminisms, democratization, and radical democracy discusses different case studies in South and Central America, Middle East, and North Africa, which allows to compare democratization processes in gender relationships both inside family structures and in national and global contexts. The chapters included in this book focus upon old and new interests (in the South and the North), and allow a growing synergy for a new generation of gender studies, democratization and human rights. Special attention has been given to the analysis of the articulations among the social struggles involved in the process of the rights expansion in each country. The need to consider the political, social, and cultural spheres within the processes each country and region have undergone stems from an approach that explores the acquisition of rights in the context of what seems to be.
