Solidarities Beyond Borders - Transnationalizing Women's Movements (Paperback)

Scholars of social movements tend to overlook the achievements and
political significance of women's movements. Through theoretical
discussions and empirical examples, "Solidarities beyond
Borders" demonstrates the creativity and dynamism of transnational
women's movements around the world.

These timely case studies from North America, Latin America, and
Southeast Asia introduce feminists, activists, and scholars to the
benefits and challenges of building relationships, dialogues, and
perspectives that extend beyond the boundaries of nation-states and
disciplines. Part 1 opens a dialogue between feminist theorists and
scholars of social movements in other disciplines -- geographers,
anthropologists, sociologists, and political scientists. Part 2
explores how the mutual recognition of interests and identities among
feminist activists and women's organizations can deepen
solidarities. Part 3 focuses on the challenges that feminists and
women's groups will face as they build solidarities beyond
borders but argues that these links can be extended to embrace other
progressive movements and their goals.

"Solidarities beyond Borders" not only brings to light the
opportunities and challenges that globalization poses for
transnationalizing women's movements, it also offers important
strategic, conceptual, and methodological lessons for all social
movements.
