Transnational feminism has been critical to feminist theorizing in
the global North over the last few decades. Perhaps due to its
broad terminology, transnational feminism can become vague and
dislocated, losing its ability to name specific critiques of and
responses to empire, race, and globalization that are emboldened by
its transnational remit. This volume encompasses an expansive
engagement and exploration of transnational South Asian feminist
movements, networks, and critiques within the context of the
popular and the diaspora in South Asia. The contributing authors
address key issues in a global context, especially as they operate
both in a situated and the diasporic imaginary of South Asia. While
the idea of the popular in South Asia has often been circumscribed
by the spaces and cultural politics of Bollywood, this
interdisciplinary volume takes an innovative turn to examine how
academics, advocates, activists, and artists envision the inroads
and consequences of nationalism, globalization and/or empire, which
continually remake communities and alter needs and allegiances.
Through ethnography, literature, dance, cinema, activism, poetry,
and storytelling, the authorsd analyse popular and social justice
using a focused, multidisciplinary gendered lens. This book was
originally published as a special issue of South Asian Popular
Culture.
