O knihe
Have efforts to advance women's and men's commitments to democratic governance, women's rights and gender equality been successful in the Caribbean? Do they reflect local as well as international concerns and visions of gender equality?
This edited collection answers these questions by focusing on women's political leadership, electoral quota systems, national gender policies and transformational leadership as four feminist strategies that aim to engender democracy and citizenship. It offers a rich historical, comparative and ethnographic
perspective on the lived experience of these strategies through case studies of Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Dominica, Jamaica and St. Lucia. Drawing on national policy debates, election campaigns, state officials' solidarities, men's gender consciousness and women leaders' life histories across these five
Caribbean countries, the collection assesses the successes of transnational feminist efforts, the resilience of masculinist resistances, the limits of gender mainstreaming and the possibilities for gender justice in and beyond the Caribbean today.
