This collection of essays examines the relationship of women of
color's armed resistance to their aesthetic struggles, tension and
transformation in feminist practice, and the impact of the
gender-based design of state-sponsored terror, human rights
debates, and the economic development for women of color. Athey
brings together new scholarship testing the possibility of
transnational feminist action and theorizing historical and
contemporary aspects of resistance for women of color. Included are
essays by and about women of Africa, India, and the Americas,
including women of African American, Chicana, Puerto Rican, and
Yaqui origins. Essays examine regional and historical contexts to
demonstrate the central role of women of color in armed resistance
struggle and in sustaining cultures of resistance, despite the fact
that the agency, speech, and writing of women of color have
received the least attention in studies of resistance. Contributors
challenge thinking across many disciplines: sociology, literary and
cultural studies, history, political science, and education.
Resistance struggles examined include women in armed struggle for
national self-determination, political and economic struggle for
human rights and against state-sponsored repression; and women
sustaining political and cultural resistance against specific
religious, feminist, or nationalist doctrines, and against the
repression of multiple forms of political, sexual, intellectual,
and artistic expression.
