The acceleration of economic globalization and the rapid global
flows of people, culture, and information have intensified the
importance of developing transnational understandings of
contemporary issues. Transnational feminist perspectives have
provided a unique outlook on women’s lives and have deepened our
understanding of the gendered nature of global processes.
Transnational Feminism in the United States examines how
transnational perspectives shape the ways in which we create and
disseminate knowledge about the world within the United States, and
how the paradigm of transnational feminism is affected by national
narratives and public discourses within the country itself. An
innovative theoretical project that is both deconstructive and
constructive, this bookinterrogates the limits of feminist thought,
primarily through case studies that illustrate its power to create
new fields of research out of traditionally interdisciplinary lines
of inquiry. Leela Fernandes discusses ways to approach, analyze,
and capture processes that exceed and unsettle the nation-state
within the transnational feminist paradigm. Examining the links
between power and knowledge that bind interdisciplinary theory and
research, she shines new light on issues such as human rights as
well as academic debates about transnational feminist perspectives
on global issues. A thought-provoking analysis, Transnational
Feminism in the United States powerfully contributes to the field
of Women’s Studies and related cross-disciplinary scholarship on
feminist theory and gender from a global perspective.
