Interventions cover

The editors are committed to destroying perceptions and stereotypes of third world women as passive victims who need to be "liberated" by Western feminists. The essays address cases in which women have challenged and resisted the political formations-nationalist struggles, revolutions, religious fundamentalist practices, and authoritarian regimes-that shape their daily lives. Each critic presents a close reading of the circumstances under which the feminist writers and film-makers.

"The volume is a significant addition to the powerful body of work on Third World feminist theory and textual practice. The large number of essays on South Asia and Latin America offer a comparative scope hitherto unavailable in a single volume." -- Women:A Cultural Review
