Description

Jane Duran's Worlds of Knowing begins to fill an enormous gap in the literature of feminist epistemology: a wide-ranging, cross-cultural primer on worldviews and epistemologies of various cultures and their appropriations by indigenous feminist movements in those cultures.

It is the much needed epistemological counterpart to work on cross-cultural feminist social and political philosophy.

This project is absolutely breath-taking in scope, yet a manageable read for anyone with some background in feminist theory, history, or anthropology.

Duran draws many comparisons and connections to Western philosophical and feminist ideas, yet avoids facile or imperialistic over-universalization.

Her book is powerful, comprehensive, Pnd brave. It will prove an enormously useful resource for scholars in women's studies, philosophy, anthropology, religious studies and history.
