"An invaluable addition to development studies, this book analyzes East Asian industrialization, restructuring, and migration with indigenous gender perspectives. Its articles offer incisive feminst critiques of the differential effects on women and men of the Asian economic miracle."
Judith Lorber, author of Gender Inequalities: Feminist Theories and Politics
"This collection makes gender visible as it runs through the processes of globalization, economic restructuring, and labor migration in Asia which are transforming this part of the globe. Rather than static stereotypes of Asia or of men and women, the dynamic and interacting forces of gender and economic growth stand out in these accounts."
Myra Marx Ferree, co-author of Controversy and Coalition: The New Feminist Movement Across Four Decades of Change [Routledge]
"Transforming Gender and Development in East is a coherent and theoretically informed collection of studies of gendering processes integral to industrialization, restructuring, and migration in East Asia. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding."
