About this book
Reviews
“‘Transnational Borderlands is a book about the intricate connections between local and global sites that women occupy in transnational networks’ … . The broad spectrum of this volume will appeal to scholars in the fields of Women’s and Gender Studies, Transnational Studies, Latin American and Middle Eastern Studies, and to anyone interested in the intersection between activism and globalization.” (Enrique Ávila López, Letras Femeninas, 2015)
"Coming mostly from literary perspectives, the authors navigate familiar ground with new instruments and show us new angles. The writing alone makes for an exciting reading of the issues, bringing what is easily obscured in the social sciences into full presence here. I found this to be an exceptional book." - Saskia Sassen, Robert S. Lynn Professor of Sociology, Columbia University and author of Territory, Authority, Rights"This book is indispensable reading for anyone concerned with freedom under the effects of globalization. Each chapter provides a different optic for recognizing the dimensions of transnational feminism. What is revealed is a particular borderlands methodology that makes liberation a possibility. This book takes us through and beyond theories of coloniality and decoloniality by recognizing women's roles in constructing the borderlands theories and methods necessary for enlivening the heart of coalitional emancipatory politics." - Chela Sandoval, Associate Professor of Chicana and Chicano Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara
"Eloquently addresses the critical intersection between gender, transnationalism, and globalization. Rigorous research, thoughtful planning, and provocative intellectual analyses went into each of the essays in this timely book. Written in a language accessible enough for first-year college students but also sufficiently theoretical to interest advanced scholars, Transnational Borderlands in Women's Global Networks is a vital contribution to the field of gender and women s studies because of its insightful attention to issues of race, class, sexuality, and colonization as they apply to the lives of women." - Guisela Latorre, Associate Professor of Women's Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University
