Women, Population and Global Crisis: A Political-Economic Analysis

Asoka Bandarage Zed Books, $25

Bandarage, a sociologist and professor of women’s studies at Mt. Holyoke College, asserts that the international economic crises of poverty, hunger and political instability attributed to overpopulation are merely anti-woman and misguided, insufficient solutions to larger global problems. She calls for a paradigm of partnership to achieve a necessary shift in the world balance for the 21st Century.
