2014 is WAF's 25th anniversary year, and this book maps the
development of the organisation over the past 25 years, through the
life stories and political reflections of some of its members. It
focuses on the ways in which lived contradictions have been
reflected in their politics. Their stories describe the pathways
that led them to WAF, and the role WAF has played in their lives
and in the different forms of politicial activism in which they
have engaged. Discussing feminist activism from a wide variety of
different ethnic and religious backgrounds, contributors highlight
the complex relationships of belonging that are at the heart of
contemporary social life - including the problems of exclusionary
political projects of belonging. They also explore the ways in
which anti-fundamentalism relates to broader feminist, anti-racist
and other emancipatory political ideologies and movements. The
personal stories at the centre of this book are those of women
whose lives enact the complexities of multiple (if shifting and
contingent) mutually constitutive axes of power and difference.
Much of their concerns therefore relate to crossing the boundaries
of collectivity and practising a 'dialogical transversal politics'
that has developed as an alternative to identity politics.
