audiobook The History of Ethiopian Immigrants and Refugees in America; 1900-2000 (New Americans) by Solomon Addis Getahun in History

Description

Revolutionizing Feminism offers the first feminist analysis of the human rights crisis in the Philippines during the Arroyo presidency (2001-2010) and the declaration of the country as the 'second front' in the US-led 'war on terror'. During this period over 1;000 activists; including peasants; journalists and lawyers; were murdered. Lacsamana situates Filipino women within the international division of labour; showing the connection between the 'super-exploitation' of their labour power at home and their migration abroad as domestic workers; nurses; nannies; entertainers; and 'mail-order brides'. In contrast to the cultural turn in feminist theorising that has retreated from the concepts of class and class exploitation; Revolutionizing Feminism seeks to reorient feminist scholarship in order to better understand the material realties of those living in an increasingly unstable and impoverished global south.
