内容简介

Using her observations of the Fourth World Women's Conference held in China in 1995 as a foundation, the author examines the history and current situation of Latinas and attempts to place them in a global context. After examining the goals, objectives, and atmosphere of the Conference, she analyzes the Chicana feminist movement and its legacy and how Chicanas have struggled to relate to the Conference and its platform. She then profiles U.S. Latinas and presents data on their reality in today's world. The response to the Americanization process is then examined, as are U.S. expansionist policies. An important synthesis for students and researchers in Chicana and Women's Studies.
