Amazon to Zami: Towards a Global Lesbian Feminism

by Monika Reinfelder

This work explores the existence of a global network of lesbian activists in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. Individual chapters place lesbian concerns in the context of national politics and prevailing attitudes toward women and sexuality, in countries as culturally, politically and economically diverse as Costa Rica, Mexico, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Argentina. A wide range of women debate their ability to be politically active and openly lesbian in countries that are (at best) hostile to the issues of homosexuality and feminism.

[fausto]

The only anthology focussed on cross.cultural lesbian-feminist movement, ot's probably one of the most important book ever written on the subject, specially because gives the reader a global understanding of the lesbian's lives around the globe, with emphasis on third world countries. A must read!!
