Dislocating Cultures by Uma Narayan
Discussing the notions of nation, identity and tradition, this text shows how Western and Third World scholars have misrepresented Third World cultures and feminist agendas. It examines the underlying problems which "culture" poses for the respect of difference and cross-cultural understanding."A thoughtful analysis and candid appraisal of the obstacles to transnational feminist understanding, Narayan's discussion of the problems is a step in the right direction" -- Hypatia
"Helpful addition for teaching non-Western and comparative women's studies courses." -- National Women's StudiesJournal
Uma Narayan is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Vassar College.
