Forced Migration in the Feminist Imagination explores how feminist
acts of imaginative expression, community-building, scholarship,
and activism create new possibilities for women experiencing forced
migration in the twenty-first century. Drawing on literature, film,
and art from a range of transnational contexts including Europe,
the Middle East, Central America, Australia, and the Caribbean,
this volume reveals the hitherto unrecognised networks of feminist
alliance being formulated across borders, while reflecting
carefully on the complex politics of cross-cultural feminist
solidarity. The book presents a variety of cultural case-studies
that each reveal a different context in which the transcultural
feminist imagination can be seen to operate – from the
‘maternal feminism’ of literary journalism confronting the
European ‘refugee crisis’ to Iran’s female film directors
building creative collaborations with displaced Afghan women; and
from artists employing sonic creativities in order to listen to
women in U.K. and Australian detention, to LGBTQ+ poets and video
artists articulating new forms of queer feminist community against
the backdrop of the hostile environment. This is an essential read
for scholars in Women’s and Gender Studies, Feminist and
Postcolonial Literary and Cultural Studies, and Comparative
Literary Studies, as well as for those operating in the fields of
Gender and Development Studies and Forced Migration Studies.
