Global Feminist Autoethnographies bears witness to our
displacements, disruptions, and distress as tenured faculty,
faculty on temporary contracts, graduate students, and people
connected to academia during COVID-19. The authors document their
experiences arising within academia and beyond it, gathering
narratives from across the globe—Australia, Canada, Ghana,
Finland, India, Norway, South Africa, the United Kingdom, the
United States along with transnational engagements with Bolivia,
Iran, Nepal, and Taiwan. In an era where the older rules about work
and family related to our survival, wellbeing, and dignity are
rapidly being transformed, this book shows that distress and
traumas are emerging and deepening across the divides within and
between the global North and South, depending on the intersecting
structures that have affected each of us. It documents our distress
and trauma and how we have worked to lift each other up amidst
severe precarities. A global co-written project, this book shows
how we are moving to decolonize our scholarship. It will be of
interest to an interdisciplinary array of scholars in the areas of
intersectionality, gender, family, race, sexuality, migration, and
global and transnational sociology.

In the global South there is growing concern about the dynamics of
global politics that have the potential to marginalize the diverse
voices and perspectives of subaltern communities. Exploring ongoing
and new feminist dialogues in the global South, this book examines
the ways in which dominant epistemologies are challenged, unique
identities formed, and the implications for the global feminist
agenda. With chapters addressing feminist issues in Africa, South
Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and the Caribbean, the
authors explore how feminist scholars and activists consciously
challenge dominant hegemonic discourses and methodologies. The
volume raises several critical questions: How do Southern feminist
scholars and activists conceptualize and interpret the multiple
facets of women's lived experiences in their societies? What
factors shape their positionality and identity as feminist scholars
and activists? How do Southern feminist discourses offer
possibilities of new insights that reflect the multiple and
shifting conditions in their societies? What might their
perspectives bring to global feminist agendas? This volume offers a
space within which feminist voices from multiple locations in and
on the global South can find expression in conversations that
redefine, reconfigure, and envision knowledge production from their
standpoints and in ways that positively impact the lives of women
in the global South.
Since the 1991-2002 civil conflict ended in Sierra Leone, the
country has failed to translate the accomplishments of women’s
involvement in bringing the war to an end into meaningful political
empowerment. This is in marked contrast to other post-conflict
countries, which have increased the political participation of
women in elected and appointed office, increased the representation
of women in leadership positions, and enacted constitutional
reforms promoting women’s rights. Written by Sierra Leonean and
Africanist scholars and experts from a broad range of disciplines,
this unique volume analyses the historical and contextual factors
influencing women’s political, economic and social development in
the country. In drawing on a diverse array of case studies – from
health to education, refugees to international donors – the
contradictions, successes and challenges of women’s lives in a
post-conflict environment are revealed, making this an essential
book for anyone involved in women and development.
