Reviews
Decolonizing Feminism offers original, nuanced, and visionary feminist analysis that crosses epistemological and disciplinary borders, and provides conceptual tools to decolonize hegemonic feminisms and fracture the transnational as a normativizing gesture. -- Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Distinguished Professor of Women's and Gender Studies, Syracuse University This innovative book takes on the urgent task of reflecting politically on the meaning of decolonizing feminism in neoliberal times. Questioning the limits of the hegemonic feminist mode of thinking by exposing the power relations that underlie it and assuming the perspective of those marginalized, it aims at opening up and subverting feminist philosophy in order to incorporate debates about the production of knowledge, human rights, citizenship and immigration, and the quest for justice and freedom. These provocative analyses renew and potentialize feminism as they offer new tools and concepts to interpret our present in its multiplicity. -- Margareth Rago, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil
