Full Description
This open access book by Yulia Gradskova examines women's internationalism and gatherings in the places understood as Cold War peripheries.
East-South Women Internationalism at the Cold War Periphery: Coming Together in Tashkent, Havana, and Beyond examines women's gatherings, internationalism, political travel, and networks through questioning established geopolitical categories. While female "political tourists" coming to cities like Tashkent and Havana cannot be seen as free from neither the superpowers' open and hidden confrontational agendas nor from Cold War surveillance and pressures, Gradskova demonstrates that they significantly contributed to the advancement of transnational women's rights. Simultaneously, East-South Women Internationalism at the Cold War Periphery contributes to the growing field of decolonial criticism regarding the "second world" emancipation project by detailing how its vision of progress hindered many other voices and visions of the future from being heard. Gradskova's attention to the mundane problems and pleasures of traveling, coming together, and writing letters allows for distinguishing implicit details of curiosity, emotional attachment as well as (self) censorship and hierarchies; in turn, helping to reconstruct parts of women's robust and complex participation in the building of the transnational connectivity trespassing the Cold War division lines.
