- catalog abstract ""Through detailed case studies drawn from the Asia-Pacific region, this book explores the tensions between an apparently universalizing discourse of human rights and increasing awareness of the complexities of women's politics of difference. It questions how feminists negotiate controversial issues such as 'rights' and 'cultural relativism', and argues for an increased focus on the ways in which human rights claims are embedded in highly specific local contexts, histories and struggles." "This volume challenges conventional, un-gendered and male-centred analyses of the politics of human rights and addresses the future of global feminisms. It is essential reading for all those interested in learning more about human rights and women's rights in the Asia-Pacific region."--Jacket.".
