Challenging persistent geopolitical asymmetries in feminist
knowledge production, this collection depicts collisions between
concepts and lived experiences, between academic feminism and
political activism, between the West as generalizable and the East
as the concrete Other. Borderlands in European Gender Studies
narrows the gap between cultural analysis and social theory,
addressing feminist theory's epistemological foundations and its
capacity to confront the legacies of colonialism and socialism. The
contributions demonstrate the enduring worth of feminist concepts
for critical analysis, conceptualize resistance to multiple forms
of oppression, and identify the implications of the decoupling of
cultural and social feminist critique for the analysis of gender
relations in a postsocialist space. This book will be of import to
activists and researchers in women's and gender studies,
comparative gender politics and policy, political science,
sociology, contemporary history, and European studies. It is
suitable for use as a supplemental text for advanced undergraduate
and graduate courses in a range of fields.
