Not a moment too soon, Just Advocacy? arrives to guide us in our
thinking about international human rights and the gender politics
of representation. Presenting a timely critique of the ways in
which global feminism constructs gendered subjects of aid, the
editors and contributors to this volume challenge us to recognize
the legacies of colonialism in the workings of governmental and
non-governmental organizations.
