Ambivalent Engagements, Paradoxical Effects: Latin American Feminist and Women’s Movements and/in/against Development

Sonia E. Alvarez

Chapter 10 in Under Development: Gender, 2014, pp 211-235 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Development has offered a complex and contradictory mix of constraints and opportunities, enabling and disabling conditions for feminist and women’s movements in Latin America and across the globe. It indirectly contributed to the emergence and expansion of women’s movements in the Global South — while selectively absorbing, if most often distorting and depoliticising, feminist claims — and, in turn, disciplined feminisms, constraining our discourses, practices, prospects and possibilities.
