They are all gendered subjects responding to the economic, political, and cultural realities of neoliberalism’s global gender order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this ambitious book, \u003cem\u003eThe Gender Order of Neoliberalism\u003c\/em\u003e, Radhakrishnan and Solari map the varied gendered pathways of a global hegemonic regime. Focusing on the US, the former Soviet Union, and South and Southeast Asia, they argue that the interconnected histories of imperialism, socialism, and postcolonialism have converged in a new way since the fall of the Soviet Union, transforming the post-war international order that preceded it. Today, the ideal of the empowered woman – a striving, entrepreneurial subject who overcomes adversity and has many “choices” – symbolizes modernity for diverse countries competing for status in the global hierarchy. This ideal bridges the painful gap between aspiration and lived reality, but also spurs widespread discontent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlending social theory, rich empirical evidence, and a multi-sited understanding of neoliberalism, \u003cem\u003eThe Gender Order of Neoliberalism\u003c\/em\u003e invites all of us to question taken-for-granted knowledge about gender and capitalism, and to look to grassroots international movements of the past to chart the path to a fairer future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47384034377964,"sku":"9781509544905","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12471303482725.jpg?v=1773397420"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/smitha-radhakrishnan.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
