• W241672623 abstract "Women, Feminism and Development Huguette Dagenais and Denise Piche, eds. Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women Montreal and Kingston: McGill - Queen's University Press, 1994; 447 pp.Reviewed by Maroussia Hajdukowski - Ahmed Department of French, Women's Studies Programme and McMaster Research Centre for the Promotion of Women's Health McMaster University Hamilton, OntarioAnybody who is conversant with issues, opens this book with a certain apprehension in our time of intense epistemological, ethical and political debate(f.1). Who is creating knowledge on and who is going to benefit from it? How is defined? Will the indigenous women speak in their own voices? The editors, Huguette Dagenais and Denise Piche -- the first a professor of anthropology, and the second a professor of architecture, both at Laval University -- are aware of the difficulties to overcome; they do not eschew challenges and by and large meet them honestly, sensitively and convincingly.The book emanates from the 1988 Conference in Quebec City of the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women (CRIAW) on Women and Development and sponsored by the Groupe de Recherche multidisciplinaire feministe (GREMF) in which women from different geographic, organizational and academic backgrounds participated. Their approaches include theoretical reflections, case studies and personal testimonies. The book is bilingual and each article starts with a useful summary in both English and French. It provides the reader with a comprehensive account on carried out from a feminist perspective, with a particular emphasis on the contribution of Canadian researchers and activists.What binds the 18 articles is a feminist concept of that each article helps to shape. The emergence of this concept is reported in the very comprehensive and powerful introduction by the editors, Conceptions et pratiques du developpement, followed by its shorter version in English. Dagenais/Piche situate their book in the context of a crisis in the theory of marked by the end of certainties assured by great theoretical plans (p.49). They argue that is mostly male and Western specialists -- more so in the francophone sphere -- who still juggle with abstract concepts of development. But concrete projects, initiated locally by feminist action researchers in different parts of the have contributed to the emergence of another development (p.51). Thus the editors feel justified in stating that it has been, without a shadow of doubt, feminists who have pushed the critique of theories and actions in this huge field farthest during the last 20 years, because not only have they contested capitalist imperialism, on which practices and dominant concepts are based, but they have demonstrated the key role of the social relations of sex in development (p.50).What is a feminist concept of development? The book proceeds to deconstruct the efficacy/validity of any universalizing and/or state - directed concept of development. A feminist concept of legitimizes the grassroots, bottom up approach based on women's voiced experiences and knowledge, the result of which is the indigenization of feminist as demonstrated by Rosina Wiltshire in her article Indigenization Issues in Women and Development Studies in the Caribbean: Towards a Holistic Approach. Such an epistemological process has ethical and political consequences. Indigenous knowledge production by women informs policies which become directly relevant to the communities whose needs they serve. A feminist concept of thus runs contrary to the neo - colonial of directed by the developed countries via the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund which serve the needs of the West. The book illustrates how this world system further exploits the natural and human resources of the developing world, further accumulates its debt, further alienates communities from their cultures, and further degrades the condition of women. …" @default.
