Annotation: In "Practising Feminism," contributors are drawn from a range of backgrounds in anthropology, sociology and social psychology to explore different ways of practising feminism and the effect these practices have on gendered identities. The contributors explore feminism and gender differences between different countries and diverse feminist practices. They also discuss the need for the recognition of heterosexuality as a politicized identity, the practical role of feminism in nationalist struggles and the methodological implications of feminist practices.
"Practising Feminism" is an important contribution to the neglected middle ground between post-modern deconstructions of difference and identity and continued feminist concern with grounded power relations and the validity of experience.

Publisher Description:

In Practising Feminism, contributors drawn from a range of backgrounds in anthropology, sociology and social psychology, explore different ways of practising feminism and their effect on gendered identities.
The contributors examine feminism and gender identities in different cultures, feminism as a politics of transformation, the call for recognition of heterosexuality as a politicised identity, the practical role of feminism in nationalist struggles, power relations and gender differences, and the methodological implications of feminist practices. They all discuss identity, difference and power and their importance to feminist political practice. Practising Feminism is an important contribution to the neglected middle ground between post-modern deconstructions of difference and identity, and continued feminist concern with grounded power relations and the validity of experience.
