Ideal for students and scholars in Gender and Globalization, Transnational Feminism and Feminist Theory more broadly, this book introduces the key issues in, and addresses the most significant challenges for, contemporary transnational feminist politics. In a time of globalization, what does an inclusive feminist politics entail? Are the visions of global feminism and transnational feminism compatible? Is the human rights approach the best approach for feminists in the 21st century? How does social location or identity influence our strategies for achieving global gender justice? This book examines the efficacy of the human rights framework for women's liberation and evaluates the relevance of current feminist frameworks by looking to indigenous struggles, activism, and knowledges. It also offers new decolonizing methods and practices for future transnational feminist theorizing and activism. In the context of rapid globalization, the book explores the theoretical frameworks for thinking through significant concepts in feminist theory and activism: rights, citizenship and immigration, solidarity, and decolonizing methodologies and practices. International and interdisciplinary in scope, authors from the Global North and the Global South offer new ways of thinking about feminist knowledges, methodologies, and practices.
