This ethnographic study examines the transnational relations
among feminist movements at the end of the twentieth century,
exploring two differently situated women 's organizations in the
Northeast Brazilian state of Pernambuco.
The conventional narrative of globalization tells the story of
inexorable forces beyond the capacity of individuals to mute or
transcend. But this study tells a different story, one of social
actors purposefully weaving cross-border relationships. From this
vantage point, global social forces are not immaculately conceived.
Instead, they are constituted by human actors with their own
interests and identities, located in particular social
contexts.
Making Transnational Feminism takes what some have called
"global civil society" as its object, moving beyond both dire
predictions and euphoric celebrations to understand how
transnational political relationships are constructed and sustained
across social and geographical divides. It also provides a
compelling case study for use in advanced undergraduate and
graduate courses in globalization, gender studies, and social
movements.
