In recent years, the global justice movement has grabbed headlines
and reshaped political imaginations worldwide. Surprisingly,
however, feminism is largely absent from accounts of the
movement-despite the fact that feminists are extensively involved
on the ground. Addressing this significant gap in the literature,
Eschle and Maiguashca shine a powerful light on what they term
"feminist antiglobalization activism." Drawing on their fieldwork
at the World Social Forum and European Social Forum, 2003-2005,
they begin by outlining the vital role of feminist
antiglobalization activism in Forum processes and events while also
emphasizing its diversity. The authors then trace the origins of
this activism, the critiques and aspirations of those involved,
their political practices beyond the Forum, and their efforts to
forge a sense of solidarity among themselves and with others.
Taking feminism seriously, Eschle and Maiguashca conclude, points
us toward a richer and more theoretically nuanced understanding of
the global justice movement and its struggle to create other
possible worlds. Their book thus offers vital insights not only for
feminists, but also for all those interested in contemporary social
movements and in global governance and resistance.
