This book is about the way women’s lives and gender relations within the world’s fisheries are being shaped by globalization. The collection combines short, focused articles taken from Samudra and Yemaya, publications of the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF), with research done by activists and academics from around the world. The short articles give voice to the concerns of fisheries workers while the regional and national case studies scrutinize the links between changes in fisheries associated with globalization and the experiences of women who depend upon fisheries. They also address larger theoretical, cultural and social justice issues related to gender, globalization and fisheries.
