Homeland, country, region, locality, and globalisation: all words whose definitions in turn affect the definition of the word 'woman'. The essays in "Between Woman and Nation" discuss women in diverse locales - ranging from Quebec to Beirut. The contributors - leading scholars of gender, ethnicity, trans-nationalism, and globalisation - are united in their determination to locate and describe the performative space of interactions between woman and nation, interactions which frequently confound and resist essentialised notions of either.Divided into three parts, the collection first examines constructions of nationalism and communities whose practices complicate these constructions. The second section investigates regulations of particular nation-states and how they affect the lives of women, while the third presents studies of trans-national identity formation, in which contributors critique ideas such as 'multicultural nationalism' and 'global feminism'. In its demonstration of the critical possibilities of feminist alliances across discrepant and distinct material conditions, "Between Woman and Nation" will make a unique contribution to women's studies, feminist theory, studies of globalisation and trans-nationalism, ethnic studies, and cultural studies.
