Transnational Feminism @ Tutt Library
Crossing Boundaries : Ethnicity, Race, and National Belonging in a Transnational World by Call Number: JC312 .C76 2013ISBN: 0739181300Publication Date: 2013
Transnational Feminist Theory focuses on intersections between nationality, race, gender, sexuality and economic exploitation, on a global scale, and how these create specific instances of experience. Transnational feminism purposefully rejects the idea that there exists a "global sisterhood," promoted by mainstream feminism, which glosses over contextual differences in the experience of gender. This theory is based in praxis and dialogue and is intended to lay the groundwork for more productive and equitable social relations among women across borders and cultural contexts.
