Reviews
'This book may discomfit some, but it is a badly needed antidote to the myths and fables that are scattered through the gender and development field. It is honest, level-headed, yet deeply committed to core feminist values and principles. Its editors and authors must be commended for their courage and their persistence with the difficult questions.' - Gita Sen'A lively and self-critical set of essays on the perils and potentials of feminist engagements with the structures of power in the development field, by those who have been there.' - Naila Kabeer'This very innovative, fascinating and timely book explores a totally neglected dimension of gender and development. It examines the gender myths and the troubles that have arisen from the co-optation of feminist issues by the development actors and agenda. Using an international perspective, it provides indispensable insights for everyone working on development, activists and women's movements around the world.' - Pinar Ilkkaracan'Written in engaging, accessible language, these vivid insider accounts and incisive analyses of "what went wrong" and what can be done now provide a good if sobering assessment. Highly recommended to researchers, teachers, and activists in all fields of development study and practice.' - Population and Development Review'Their work is significant for GAD (Gender and Development) practitioners and should be a mandatory read.' - Wendy Miller, Lilith'The book is exemplar in the field of feminist writing ... pioneering in its insights on the trajectory of gender and development debates and policy choices that have resulted from feminist engagement. The conceptual breadth of this work is impressive as it seamlessly covers multiple topics that are central to gender and development debates ...

Synopsis
This book explores the contested relationship between feminisms and development. It reflects on the uneasy gains made by feminist efforts to bring 'gender' into development, and on the challenges for reasserting feminist engagement with development as a political project., This collection of essays by leading feminist thinkers from North and South constitutes a major new attempt to reposition feminism within development studies. Feminism's emphasis on social transformation makes it fundamental to development studies. Yet the relationship between the two disciplines has frequently been a troubled one. At present, the way in which many development institutions function often undermines feminist intent through bureaucratic structures and unequal power quotients. Moreover, the seeming intractability of inequalities and injustice in developing countries have presented feminists with some enormous challenges. Here, emphasizing the importance of a plurality of approaches, the authors argue for the importance of what 'feminisms' have to say to development. Confronting the enormous challenges for feminisms in development studies, this book provides real hope for dialogue and exchange between feminisms and development., This collection of essays by leading feminist thinkers from North and South constitutes a major new attempt to reposition feminism within development studies.Feminism's emphasis on social transformation makes it fundamental to development studies.

Moreover, the seeming intractability of inequalities and injustice in developing countries have presented feminists with some enormous challenges. Here, emphasizing the importance of a plurality of approaches, the authors argue for the importance of what 'feminisms' have to say to development.Confronting the enormous challenges for feminisms in development studies, this book provides real hope for dialogue and exchange between feminisms and development., The political project of reasserting feminist engagement with development has proceeded uneasily in recent years. This book examines how the arguments of feminist researchers have often become depoliticised by development institutions and offers richly contextualised accounts of the pitfalls and compromises of the politics of engagement. Speaking from within academic institutions, social movements, development bureaucracies and national and international NGOs, the contributors highlight on-going battles for interpretation and the unequal power relations within which these battles take place. They engage with the challenges of achieving solidarity in the context of increasingly polarised geo-political relations, and advance a diversity of critiques of simplified ideas about gender, and how these ideas come to be interpreted in institutional policies and practices.
