Abstract
Just Advocacy? Women's Human Rights, Transnational Feminisms, and the Politics of Representation. Edited by Wendy S. Hesford and Wendy Kozol. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press. 2005. 310 pp. $24.94.The transnational dimensions of women's rights are an important emerging area of analysis. Just Advocacy? provides timely and critical insights into this area of study. This edited book is unique in that it applies a cultural lens to the study of political questions relating to rights, transnationalism, and representation, questions which are conventionally conceived through legal, institutional, or social movement theories. The critical feminist stance of the authors draws out the complex and often contradictory nature of human rights—especially as they relate to the operation of gender and to women's lives—and conceives of both feminism and transnationalism in diverse ways.
