Subject: New Book from Mohanty and Alexander


Hello.  I am usually lurking on this list, but am looking forward to
participating in the reading/discussion that seems imminent.  I also thought
we'd all like to know about this book.  Chandra Mohanty told me that she
hopes it'll be out in about ten days.

***************
Feminist Genealogies, Colonial Legacies, Democratic Futures provides a
feminist analysis of the questions of sexual and gender politics, economic
and cultural marginality, and anti-racist and anti-colonial practices both
in the "West" and in the "Third World." This collection of all new essays
charts the underlying theoretical perspectives and organizational practices
of the different varieties of feminism that take on questions of
colonialism, imperialism, and the repressive rule of colonial, post-colonial
and advanced capitalist nation-states.

It provides a comparative, historically grounded conception of feminist
praxis that differs markedly from the liberal, multicultural understanding
that shapes the dominant versions of Euro-American feminism.
