Bibliography

'Invisible Women takes on the neglected topic of what we don't know - and why. The result is a powerful, important and eye-opening analysis of the gender politics of knowledge and ignorance. With examples from technology to natural disasters, this is an original and timely reminder of why we need women in the leadership of the institutions that shape every aspect of our lives.' Cordelia Fine

You've heard all about the Gender Pay Gap... Welcome to the Gender Data Gap
Our world is largely built for and by men, in a system that can ignore half the population. This book will tell you how and why this matters


In her new book, Invisible Women, award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. She exposes the gender data gap  a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on womens lives.

Caroline brings together for the first time an impressive range of case studies, stories and new research from across the world that illustrate the hidden ways in which women are excluded from the very building blocks of the world we live in, and the impact this has on their health and wellbeing. From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media  Invisible Women exposes the biased data that excludes women. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew.

Description
Fine sand, swaying palm trees, turquoise-blue lagoons, powder-puff clouds, and the gentle caress of the Trade Winds: the islands of the Caribbean are surely the last remaining paradise on earth. Wild mountains, impenetrable forests, shores that could still hide Robinson Crusoe; over the years tourism has left an increasing mark on the Greater and Lesser Antilles, but their distinctive charm and the appealing candour of their people remain intact.The attraction of these islands lies not only in their stunning natural beauty but in their unique history and culture. The brutal impact of European conquest on the lands of this 'New World' changed their indigenous face forever. The legacy of multiethnic settlement is evident in the Caribbean melting pot of today: every part of these islands is a piece of Europe transplanted in the tropics and subsequently infused with a strong dose of African traditions. As if by magic, these islands have succeeded in distilling the essence of Europe and mixing it with the exuberance of Africa and the voluptuous languor of the Tropics, and the effects of this intoxicating cocktail are seen in the impassioned, slightly run-down Spanish charm of Old Havana; evocative French chic in Martinique; the thoroughly Northern European taste of the pastel-painted houses of the Netherlands Antilles; and, the order and measured elegance of the former British colonies.

Bibliography
The dawn of the twenty-first century is an opportune time for the people of the Caribbean to take stock of the entire experience of the past forty years since the ending of direct colonialism. The authors believe ""it is now time to chart our future by carefully learning the lessons of the recent past."" This interdisciplinary collection is the first to cross traditionally restrictive disciplinary barriers to address the tough questions that face the Caribbean today. What went wrong with the nationalist project? What, if any, are the realistic options for a more prosperous Caribbean? What are to be the roles of race, gender and class in a more global, less national world? Meeks and Lindahl include thought-provoking articles from twenty-one respected thinkers in diverse fields of study. The groundbreaking articles include critiques of existing bodies of thought, reformulations of general theoretical approaches, policy-oriented alternatives for future development, and more. This book is a must for statesmen, academics and students of political theory, social theory, Caribbean studies, comparative gender studies, post-colonial studies, Marxism and Caribbean history and anyone interested in the state of contemporary Caribbean thought.
