Complying with Colonialism presents a complex analysis of the
habitual weak regard attributed to the colonial ties of Nordic
Countries. It introduces the concept of 'colonial complicity' to
explain the diversity through which northern European countries
continue to take part in (post)colonial processes. The volume
combines a new perspective on the analysis of Europe and
colonialism, whilst offering new insights for feminist and
postcolonial studies by examining how gender equality is linked to
'European values', thus often European superiority. With an
international team of experts ranging from various disciplinary
backgrounds, this volume will appeal not only to academics and
scholars within postcolonial sociology, social theory, cultural
studies, ethnicity, gender and feminist thought, but also cultural
geographers, and those working in the fields of welfare, politics
and International Relations. Policy makers and governmental
researchers will also find this to be an invaluable source.

This book explores how feminist movements in the Nordic region
challenge the increasing gender, race and class inequalities
following the global economic crisis, neoliberal capitalism and
austerity politics, and how they position themselves in the face of
the rise of nationalism and right-wing populism. The book
contextualizes these recent events in the long histories of racial
and colonial power relations embedded in Nordic societies and their
gender equality and welfare state regimes. It examines the role of
whiteness and racism and seeks to decolonize feminist knowledge and
genealogies of feminist movements in the region. The contributions
provide in-depth knowledge on the different orientations, dilemmas
and tactics that feminisms develop in these challenging times and
show the centrality of antiracist and decolonizing critiques of
feminisms. They further highlight the strategies of feminist and
related antiracist and indigenous movements in regards to ideas
about hope, solidarity, intersectionality, and social justice.

This open access book engages with the concept of reproductive
justice by exploring case studies of struggles around abortion in
the context of rising anti-genderism, religious fundamentalism, and
ethno-nationalism. Based on rich qualitative data offering in-depth
analyses from different geographical, political and cultural
contexts, the book explores how reproductive justice is understood,
contested and given meaning. Chapters further develop the Black
feminist concept of reproductive justice in a critical dialogue
with postcolonial theory and explore the strength of transnational
feminist practices. This book thus offers a fresh approach to the
issue of abortion by engaging with contemporary political and
cultural processes, and it expands the narrow notions of women’s
rights, particularly notions of property rights over bodies,
towards an analysis of the political economy of social reproduction
and how it affects bodies that can be pregnant. This volume will be
of interest to scholars with interests in reproductive justice,
anti-gender politics, and religious fundamentalism.
In a world where frontiers are militarised and classifications
systems defining rights and belonging are reinforced, transnational
feminist agendas are fundamental. We use the concept of
'scholarships of hope' to analyse the diversity of feminist
struggles and imaginaries in diverse geopolitical locations.
Dreaming Global Change, Doing Local Feminisms explores subversive
practices of knowledge production that challenge Eurocentric
scientific models and agendas. The book also explores the tensions
and challenges of doing transnational feminist theory at the
crossroads between feminist scholarship and feminist activism. In
conjunction, these chapters provide a solid analysis framed by
feminist methodologies opening complexities and contradictions of
individual and collective feminist and trans identity struggles in
Argentina, Belarus, Pakistan, Sweden, Taiwan and Turkey. These
identities and struggles are rooted in transnational and local
genealogies that go beyond the narratives of the West as the origin
for democracy and human rights, providing powerful agendas for
alternative futures.

This open access book seeks to understand how politics is being
made in a pluralistic sense, and explores how these political
struggles are challenging and transforming gender, sexuality, and
colonial norms. As researchers located in Sweden, a nation often
cited as one of the most gender-equal and LGBTQ-tolerant nations,
the contributions investigate political processes, decolonial
struggles, and events beyond, nearby, and in between organizations,
states, and national territories. The collection represents a
variety of disciplines, and different theoretical
conceptualizations of politics, feminist theory, and postcolonial
and queer studies. Students and researchers with an interest of
queer studies, gender studies, critical whiteness studies, and
civil society studies will find this book an invaluable resource.

This vital new collection presents new Marxist-Feminist analyses of
Capitalism as a gendered, racialized social formation that shapes
and is shaped by specific nature-labour relationships. Leaving
behind former overtly structuralist thinking, Marxist-Feminist
Theories and Struggles Today interweaves strands of ecofeminism and
intersectional analyses to develop an understanding of the
relations of production and the production of nature through the
interdependencies of gender, class, race and colonial relations.
With contributions and analyses from scholars and theorists in both
the global North and South, this volume offers a truly
international lens that reveals the the vitality of contemporary
global Marxist-Feminist thinking, as well as its continued
relevance to feminist struggles across the globe.
