>This multivoiced collection of essays and images presents the perspectives
>of activists, scholars, artists, and curators from a broad range of
>constituencies. Challenging traditional disciplinary and cultural
>boundaries, the book moves beyond any unified feminist historical
>narrative to present a "relational" feminism of diverse communities,
>affiliations, and practices. The texts/images partake of many genres:
>reflective essay, testimonial dialogue, performance piece, digital
>collage, prose poem, and photomontage. Forging connections between usually
>compartmentalized areas of knowledge and of activism, the volume helps us
>to envision alternative epistemologies and imaginative alliances.
>
