Full Description
This book redefines feminist discourse by exploring the intersections of decolonial feminisms across various geopolitical contexts, emphasising the integration of local and indigenous narratives that challenge colonial epistemologies.
The volume is organised into three thematic parts that critique traditional feminist frameworks, highlight innovative pedagogical methodologies, and showcase activism aimed at addressing intersectional inequalities. Each section features contributions from established scholars and emerging voices from both the Global North and the Global South, fostering interdisciplinary discussions that reflect a rich diversity of experiences. This approach not only enhances understanding of feminist thought but also promotes transformative practices that advocate for gender and social justice.
The book is targeted at scholars, students, and activists in feminist studies, postcolonial theory, and social justice and is a must-read for those looking to expand their understanding of feminist thought. Its emphasis on collaboration and solidarity makes it a valuable resource for anyone interested in addressing the complex global issues influenced by colonial histories while envisioning a more equitable future.
