Reviews

This is a timely intervention in women's resistance from the Global South that maps the complex labyrinth of women's opposition, agency, advocacy through various forms of art, literature, and activism. Removed from the 'strait-jacket' of organized resistance, it is a must-read for scholars, students, activists interested in women's voices and actions from the South as they defy and negotiate with micro and macro political structures of power. --Swapna M. Banerjee Professor of History, Brooklyn College and The Graduate Center of the City University of New York
