This volume presents the critical perspectives of feminists,
critical race theorists, and queer and postcolonial theorists who
question the adoption of European norms in the postcolonial world
and whether such norms are enabling for disenfranchised communities
or if they simply reinforce relations of domination and
exploitation. It examines how postcolonial interventions alter the
study of politics and society both in the postcolony and in
Euro-America, as well as of the power relations between them.
Challenging conventional understandings of international politics,
this volume pushes the boundaries of the social sciences by
engaging with alternative critical approaches and innovatively and
provocatively addressing previously disregarded aspects of
international politics. The fourteen contributions in this volume
focus on the silencing and exclusion of vulnerable groups from
claims of freedom, equality and rights, while highlighting
postcolonial-queer-feminist struggles for transnational justice,
radical democracy and decolonization, drawing on in-depth
empirically-informed analyses of processes and struggles in Asia,
Africa, Europe and Latin America. They address political and social
topics including global governance and development politics;
neo-colonialism, international aid and empire; resistance,
decolonization and the Arab Spring; civil society and social
movement struggles; international law, democratization and
subalternity; body politics and green imperialism. By drawing on
other disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, this book
both enriches and expands the discipline of political science and
international relations. Primary readership for this volume will be
academics and students concerned with globalization studies,
postcolonial theory, gender studies, and international relations,
as well as political activists and policy-makers concerned with
social and transnational justice, human rights, democracy, gender
justice and women's rights.

This volume discusses how commonality and difference are negotiated
across heterogeneous social movements in Latin America, especially
Peru. It applies cosmopolitics as an analytical lens to understand
the intricacies of social movement encounters across difference,
without imposing colonial hierarchies or categorizations. The
author blends multiple theoretical approaches—such as social
movement research, postcolonial feminism, and post-foundational
discourse theory—with ethnographic insights to develop a theory
of cosmopolitical solidarity. Providing a transnational and
intersectional perspective on the politics of social justice in a
postcolonial context, this book will appeal to students of social
movements, gender studies, racism, Latin American studies, and
international relations, as well as practitioners involved in
activism, social work, or international cooperation.Â

Despite its capacity to produce knowledge that can directly
influence policy and affect social change, academia is still often
viewed as a stereotypical ivory tower, detached from the tumult of
daily life. Knowledge, Normativity, and Power in Academia argues
that, in our current moment of historic global unrest, the fruits
of the academy need to be examined more closely than ever. This
collection pinpoints the connections among researchers, activists,
and artists, arguing that--despite what we might think--the
knowledge produced in universities and the processes that ignite
social transformation are inextricably intertwined. Knowledge,
Normativity, and Power in Academia provides analysis from both
inside and outside the academy to show how this seemingly staid
locale can still provide space for critique and resistance.
The Puerto Rican debt crisis, the challenges of social, political,
and economic transition in Cuba, and the populist politics of
Duterte in the Philippines-these topics are typically seen as
disparate experiences of social reality. Though these island
territories were colonized by the same two colonial powers-by the
Spanish Empire and, after 1898, by the United States-research in
the fields of history and the social sciences rarely draws links
between these three contexts. Located at the intersection of
Postcolonial Studies, Latin American Studies, Caribbean Studies,
and History, this interdisciplinary volume brings together scholars
from the US, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the
Philippines to examine the colonial legacies of the three island
nations of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Instead of
focusing on the legacies of US colonialism, the continuing legacies
of Spanish colonialism are put center-stage. The analyses offered
in the volume yield new and surprising insights into the study of
colonial and postcolonial constellations that are of interest not
only for experts, but also for readers interested in the social,
political, economic, and cultural dynamics of Cuba, Puerto Rico,
and the Philippines during Spanish colonization and in the present.
The empirical material profits from a rigorous and systematic
analytical framework and is thus easily accessible for students,
researchers, and the interested public alike.
