Different Places, Different Voices challenges Western feminist and post-colonial approaches in its analysis of the changing lives of women of Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania. Recognising the significance of place, this is a book informed by the voices of female geographers from the developing world. Twenty case studies present regional perspectives on urban and rural development, household reproduction and production and community organisation. The theoretical and contextual approach and the emphasis on location and positionality highlight the differences created by place to suggest other ways of seeing.
Janet H. Momsen is Professor in the Department of Geography, University of California, Davis and Chair of the International Geographical Union Commission on Gender and Geography. Vivian Kinnaird is Lecturer in the Department of Geography at the University of Sunderland.
