Transatlantic Feminisms is an interdisciplinary collection of
original feminist research on women's lives in Africa and the
African diaspora. Demonstrating the power and value of
transcontinental connections and exchanges between feminist
thinkers, this unique collection of fifteen essays addresses the
need for global perspectives on gender, ethnicity, race and class.
Examining diverse topics and questions in contemporary feminist
research, the authors describe and analyze women's lives in a host
of vibrant, compelling locations. There are essays exploring
women's political activism in Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Santo Domingo,
Jamaica and Tanzania. Other essays explore representation and
creativity in Brazil, Nigeria, and Miami. While one essay examines
African women as conflicted immigrants in France, another recounts
the experiences of Haitian women trying to survive in the Dominican
Republic. Core themes of the book include the evolution of black
feminism; black feminist political leadership; the politics of
identity and representation; and struggles for agency and survival.
These themes are interwoven throughout the volume and illuminate
different geographic and cultural experiences, yet very similar
oppressive forces and forms of resistance.
