Klappentext zu „Bananas, Beaches and Bases “
This radical analysis of globalization reveals the crucial role of women in international politics today. Cynthia Enloe pulls back the curtain on the familiar scenes¿governments promoting tourism, companies moving their factories overseas, soldiers serving on foreign soil¿and shows that the real landscape is not exclusively male. She describes how many women's seemingly personal strategies¿in their marriages, in their housework, in their coping with ideals of beauty¿are, in reality, the stuff of global politics. In exposing policymakers' reliance on false notions of "femininity" and "masculinity," Enloe dismantles an apparently overwhelming world system, revealing it to be much more fragile and open to change than we think.

Rezension zu „Bananas, Beaches and Bases “
"I have no hesitation in describing Bananas, Beaches and Bases as the most significant book in contemporary feminist International Politics. Each time I re-visit it, I am taken aback by its profound implications for both feminism and International Politics. The deceptively provocative question at its core¿'where are the women?'¿irrevocably transforms our views about what the central and important landscape of global politics is. In my view, it is the essential text not only for feminist International Politics courses but for anyone interested in starting to understand just how International Politics really works." Marysia Zalewski, author of Feminism After Postmodernism: Theorising Through Practice
