Product Description

This book introduces the concept and research achievements of Asian Women s Studies and is designed as one of the [EGEP BOOK series]. The Ewha Global Empowerment Program (EGEP), a womens education program for Asian and African female activists, is a curriculum organized by Ewha Womans Universitys Center for Asian Womens Studies. The contents of the main lectures of Asian womens researchers were selected. Despite the efforts of Asian female scholars, Asian womens studies are still understood as regional womens studies based on geographical and physical areas of Asia. In this book, Asian womens theology is based on the experience and life of Asian women, feminist theory newly constructed in the context of Asia, and a practical work that resists oppression against women and solidifies global change . The first part of the book, which is composed of 12 chapters in two parts, examines the development of Asian womens studies including the concept of Asian womens studies, and compares how womens studies have been institutionalized in Korea, China and Japan. Based on these considerations, we try to theorize about Asian feminist pedagogy. Part 2 discusses issues of womens movements in Asia such as Korea, Indonesia and India, focusing on topics such as sexuality, womens movement, and anti-violence movement, and explores the possibility of a transnational womens movement. This is the first theoretical introduction to Asian womens studies in a systematic way. This book aims to widen the understanding of Asian womens studies and to establish an Asian feminist community through transnational womens solidarity.
