Dangerous Intersections: Feminism, Population and Environment - Softcover

`This book brings together the savvy, worldly writings of one of international feminism`s most lively groups. All of us who are trying to make feminist sense of environmentalist "development" today need to read this book - from cover to cover.` - Cynthia Enloe `Dangerous Intersections offers a valuable and courageous set of insights about the complex thinking feminists and other progressives must bring to issues of population, development and environment... [These writers] make it clear that women`s empowerment and reproductive and sexual rights cannot be achieved withough profound structural changes and vigilant social movements` - Rosalind Petchesky

Dangerous Intersections provides a multicultural and international perspective on three major global problems: environmental degradation, economic development and the population `explosion`. It presents crucial alternative voices and approaches to the short-sighted policies supported by the mainstream and NGOs alike - policies that focus on the fertility of poor black women - in both North and South - as the primary threat to the ecologial viability of the plant.
