Description

In Rethinking Feminist Interventions into the Urban; Linda Peake and Martina Rieker embark on an ambitious project to explore the extent to which a feminist re-imagining of the twenty-first century city can form the core of a new emerging analytic of women and the neoliberal urban.In a world in which the majority of the population now live in urban centres; they take as their starting point the need to examine the production of knowledge about the city through the problematic divide of the global north and south; asking what might a feminist intervention; a position itself fraught with possibilities and problems; into this dominant geographical imaginary look like. Providing a meaningful discussion of the ways in which feminism; gender and women have been understood in relation to the city and urban studies; they ask probing and insightful questions that indicate new directions for theory and research; illustrating the necessity of a re-formulation of the north-south divide as a critical and urgent project for feminist urban studies.Working through platforms as diverse as policy formulations and telling stories; the contributors to the book come from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and geographic locations ranging through the Caribbean; North America; Western Europe; South; East and South East Asia; the Middle East and Latin America. They identify a range of issues (such as care; work; violence; the household; mobility; intimacy and poverty) that they analytically address to make sense of and reanimate resistance to the contemporary urban through articulations of new grammars of gendered geographies of justice.
