The first anthology to collect essays focusing on the legal rights of women of color around the world

Global Critical Race Feminism is the first anthology to focus explicitly on the legal rights of women of color around the world. Containing nearly thirty essays, the book addresses such topical themes as responses to white feminism; the flashpoint issue of female genital mutilation; the intersections of international law with U.S. law; Third World women in the First World; violence against women; and the global workplace.
