From the winner of the 2022 Los Angeles Times Book Award, As the Crow
Flies is Véronique Tadjo's evocative collection of short stories.
Writing in exquisite, poetic prose, Véronique Tadjo weaves together a
rich tapestry of characters - all nameless and faceless - as they tell
their stories of parting and return, losing and gaining, suffering and
healing.
Like a bird in flight, Tadjo travels across a borderless landscape
composed of tales of daily existence, news reports, allegories and
ancestral myths, creating a lyrical and moving portrait of the
interconnectedness of human life.
This text examines the changing global context for feminist
political action, its meaning and its forms. It acknowledges the
existence of dissent and debate among feminists, asserting that
such debate leads to innovation in theory and practice. This book
reaches the conclusion that the future of the women's movement
depends upon a dialogue which is unafraid to cut across perceived
differences. Focusing on key issues raised by a feministic
commitment to global political change, this book covers subjects
including: the relevance of contemporary feminist politics for
younger women; gendered accounts of genocide and catastrophe;
exile, migration and diaspora; gender and the internet; women and
the nationalist movement in India; gender issues in Pakistan,
Australia, South Africa and the Middle East. Featuring an
international panel of cutting-edge feminist thinkers, this work
demonstrates the innovative work being undertaken in the academic
and professional worlds, as well as in women's activism.;It is an
invaluable resource for students in Women's Studies and Development
Studies, as well as all those interested in the development of
contemporary global feminism.
