Gender, Power, and Non-Governance
Berghahn Books (Verlag)
978-1-80073-460-9 (ISBN)
Using Sherry Ortner’s analogy of Female/Nature, Male/Culture, this volume interrogates the gendered aspects of governance by exploring the NGO/State relationship. By examining how NGOs/States perform gendered roles and actions and the gendered divisions of labor involved in different types of institutional engagement, this volume attends to the ways in which gender and governance constitute flexible, relational, and contingent systems of power. The chapters in this volume present diverse analyses of the ways in which projects of governance both reproduce and challenge binaries.
Andria D. Timmer is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Christopher Newport University. Her book Educating the Hungarian Roma: Nongovernmental Organization and Minority Rights (Rowman & Littlefield, 2017), explores NGO work to desegregate the Hungarian education system for the Hungarian Roma.
