Recent debates have used the concept of "transnational history" to
broaden research on historical subjects that transcend national
boundaries and encourage a shift away from official inter-state
interactions to institutions, groups, and actors that have been
obscured. This approach proves particularly fruitful for the
dynamic field of global gender and women's history. By looking at
the restless lives and work of women's activists in informal
border-crossings, ephemeral NGOs, the lower management of
established international organizations, and other global networks,
this volume reflects the potential of a new perspective that allows
for a more adequate analysis of transnational activities. By
pointing out cultural hierarchies, the vicissitudes of translation
and re-interpretation, and the ambiguity of intercultural exchange,
this volume demonstrates the critical potential of transnational
history. It allows us to see the limits of universalist and
cosmopolitan claims so dear to many historical actors and
historians.
