Resisting Racism And Xenophobia ─ Global Perspectives On Race, Gender And Human Rights

Harrison's collection of essays focuses on the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, class, and (ethno)nation that influence the dynamics of human rights conflicts in different parts of the world. The authors investigate human rights conflicts in Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Australia, and reflect upon the political concerns and anxieties that have taken center stage since the catastrophe of 9/11. The contributors are an internationally diverse group of anthropologists and human rights activists concerned with global culturally diverse gendered experiences. This book will be valuable to instructors and applied professionals in anthropology, gender studies, ethnic studies, and international human rights.

Faye V. Harrison is Professor of African American Studies and Anthropology at the University of Florida at Gainesville, and chair of the IUAES Commission on the Anthropology of Women.
