Cross-Border Solidarities in Twenty-First Century Contexts
Conditions for global solidarities and social movements have changed radically since their high point in the 1990s United Nations conferences. This collection considers how political solidarities are being understood and constructed in a variety of cross-border struggles and for what ends under twenty-first century conditions. In studies grounded in different world regions at a variety of scales, authors address: how the Cold War divide and its a…
Popular Feminism
An analysis of popular feminism as a category in Latin American feminist studies from its origins in the 1980s and its disappearance in the 1990s to its resurgence in the present through the protagonism of the World March of Women, asks what is at stake in this contemporary claim to popular feminism in relation to the multiplication of feminisms. The contemporary use of the concept specifies a feminist praxis that is contentious, materialist, and…
Introduction Popular Feminism(s)
Popular Feminism(s) Reconsidered
This issue is concerned with the salience of "popular feminism" as an analytic category for naming the myriad contemporary forms of gendered awareness and agency appearing among Latin America's poor, working-class and racialized communities.Although we have an analytic agenda, our underlying concern here is with the politics of feminism-the construction of intersectional feminist praxes of gender, race, and economic justice and their relation to …
Theorizing Power, Difference and the Politics of Social Change
Assemblage Thinking and Transnational/ Translocal Social Movements of the 2010s (Video Presentation)
When food becomes a feminist issue
In ongoing contests over neoliberal globalization, feminists are increasingly forging alliances with non-feminist others around common struggles, both locally and transnationally. This is indicative of a broader shift in transnational feminist politics from intra-movement to inter-movement alliances, and maps onto a historic transition from the UN era (roughly 1985–1995) to the global justice era (roughly 1995–present). Engagement with new partne…
Troubling transnational feminism(s)
This article identifies a misfit between transnational feminist networks observed at the World Social Forum and the extant scholarship on transnational feminism. The conceptual divide is posited as one between transnational feminism understood, on the one hand, as a normative discourse involving a particular analytic and methodological approach in feminist knowledge production and, on the other, as an empirical referent to feminist cross-border o…
Praxis and Politics
Praxis and Politics explores the knowledge arising from activist praxis and its significance for reimagining radical and democratic politics. It is based on five years of direct involvement in the Toronto-based Metro Network for Social Justice and their work in coalition building, campaign-organizing and 'economic and political literacy' work in the aftermath of the signing of the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement. The book breaks new theoretical an…
