Her call for accountability and interrogation of feminist knowledge production is one that should be heard by all those interested in challenging inequalities and resisting disciplining tendencies within transnational feminist praxis.\" - Nancy Naples,author of Grassroots Warriors: Activist Mothering, Community Work, and the War on Poverty \"Unveiling the reproduction of the national in the transnational and the disciplining of interdisciplinarity, Fernandes deftly illustrates the minefields that women's and gender studies, postcolonial, and other interdisciplinary scholars traverse as they seek to produce transformative knowledge. Transnational Feminism in the United States is essential reading, ushering us into a more ethical practice of feminism and politics.\" - Nikol G.

Transnational Feminism in the\u003cbr\u003e United States examines how transnational perspectives shape the ways in\u003cbr\u003e which we create and disseminate knowledge about the world within the United\u003cbr\u003e States, and how the paradigm of transnational feminism is affected by national\u003cbr\u003e narratives and public discourses within the country itself.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An innovative theoretical\u003cbr\u003e project that is both deconstructive and constructive, this bookinterrogates the limits of feminist\u003cbr\u003e thought, primarily through case\u003cbr\u003e studies that illustrate its power to create new fields of research out of\u003cbr\u003e traditionally interdisciplinary lines of inquiry. Leela Fernandes discusses\u003cbr\u003e ways to approach, analyze, and capture processes that exceed and unsettle the\u003cbr\u003e nation-state within the transnational feminist paradigm. Examining the links\u003cbr\u003e between power and knowledge that bind interdisciplinary theory and research, she shines new light on issues such\u003cbr\u003e as human rights as well as academic debates about transnational feminist\u003cbr\u003e perspectives on global issues. A thought-provoking analysis, Transnational Feminism in the United States powerfully\u003cbr\u003e contributes to the field of Women's\u003cbr\u003e Studies and related cross-disciplinary scholarship on feminist theory and\u003cbr\u003e gender from a global perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NYU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52569948061976,"sku":"9780814770337","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/transnational-feminism-in-the-united-states-knowledge-ethics-power-paperback-softback-9780814770337","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
