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.
