Discussing the notions of nation, identity and tradition, this text shows how Western and Third World scholars have misrepresented Third World cultures and feminist agendas. Drawing attention to the political forces that have spawned, shaped and perpetuated these misrepresentations since colonial times, the author inspects the underlying problems which culture poses for the respect of difference and cross-cultural understanding.--Publisher's description.
