This book brings together a group of feminist activists,
psychologists, and peace workers from countries on every continent
who describe how they apply global/transnational feminism in their
activist peace and justice projects in the cultures and countries
in which they live and work. The contributors, who are from
different locations in the "global village", reflect on their
engagement in Global South/North border crossings and partnerships,
taking into consideration such variables as the gender,
economic/class, ethnic, racial, political and
imperializing/colonizing tensions inherent in the work. Authors
discuss the feminist principles that guide their work, describe a
project or set of projects illustrating how they apply feminist
theory and practice, and reflect on the complexitites, tensions and
conundrums inherent in negotiating cross-national feminist
partnerships in research, practice, and activism. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Women & Therapy.
