Transnational Feminist Politics, Education, and Social Justice Summary

Transnational Feminist Politics, Education, and Social Justice: Post Democracy and Post Truth by Silvia Edling (University of Gavle, Sweden)

Written by an international group of feminist scholars and activists, the book explores how the rise in right-wing politics, fundamentalist religion, and radical nationalism is constructed and results in gendered and racial violence. The chapters cover a broad range of international contexts and offer new ways of combating assaults and oppression to understand the dangers inherent within the current global political and social climate. The book includes a foreword by the distinguished critical activist, Antonia Darder, as well as a chapter by renowned feminist-scholar, Chandra Talpade Mohanty.

Transnational Feminist Politics, Education, and Social Justice Reviews

In a time when democracy is under threat, and unapologetic attack from numerous quarters, this timely volume, written by an amazing, diverse international group of critical feminist scholars and activists demonstrates clearly the costs of pervasive neoliberalism, nationalism, and conservatism. From indefensible refugee conditions, to untenable fiscal policy, to oppressive educational practices, or the hierarchical gaze of the ubiquitous panoption of those in power, the need to hear these voices and perspectives is more pressing than ever. The complexity of issues is addressed here with an appropriate and concomitant complexity of international feminist critique grounded in intersectionality presents powerful challenges to oppressive transnational policies and practices. * Carolyn M. Shields, Professor of Educational Leadership, Wayne State University, USA *
What better way to explore the responsibilities of feminism in the post-truth era than to locate feminism in the world? Intersectional, local, and global, this volume meets the politics of austerity and national identity with a feminist demand for equality. If, as post-democracy thinkers argue, democracy has been hollowed out, then maybe it is ripe for transformation. * Bonnie Honig, Nancy Duke Lewis Professor of Political Science, Brown University, USA *
This timely book advances a much needed transnational approach to critical feminist inquiry into the rise of far-right agendas for social organization: how the gendered reawakening of xenophobic, racist and patriotic/patriarchal ultra-nationalism converges with conservatism and neoliberalism, and how transnational feminist politics and emancipatory educational praxis might transform this disturbing scenario. * Cathryn Teasley, Associate Professor of Curriculum, Instruction and School Organization, University of A Coruna, Spain *
Like star constellations in the sky, I now cannot not see the intersections of gender oppression and neoliberalism, conservatism, and nationalism. I share an ideological global blanket of solidarity as we collectively battle for a more gender equal world. * Suzanne SooHoo, Professor Emerita of Education, Chapman University, USA *
