Bringing together classic and new writings of the trailblazing feminist theorist Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Feminism without Borders addresses some of the most pressing and complex issues facing contemporary feminism. Forging vital links between daily life and collective action and between theory and pedagogy, Mohanty has been at the vanguard of Third World and international feminist thought and activism for nearly two decades. This collection highlights the concerns running throughout her pioneering work: the politics of difference and solidarity, decolonizing and democratizing feminist practice, the crossing of borders, and the relation of feminist knowledge and scholarship to organizing and social movements. Mohanty offers here a sustained critique of globalization and urges a reorientation of transnational feminist practice toward anticapitalist struggles. Feminism without Borders opens with Mohanty's influential critique of western feminism ("Under Western Eyes") and closes with a reconsideration of that piece based on her latest thinking regarding the ways that gender matters in the racial, class, and national formations of globalization. In between these essays, Mohanty meditates on the lives of women workers at different ends of the global assembly line (in India, the United Kingdom, and the United States); feminist writing on experience, identity, and community; dominant conceptions of multiculturalism and citizenship; and the corporatization of the North American academy. She considers the evolution of interdisciplinary programs like Women's Studies and Race and Ethnic Studies; pedagogies of accommodation and dissent; and transnational women's movements for grassroots ecological solutions and consumer, health, and reproductive rights. Mohanty's probing and provocative analyses of key concepts in feminist thought--"home," "sisterhood," "experience," "community"--lead the way toward a feminism without borders, a feminism fully engaged with the realities of a transnational world.… (plus d'informations)

Nine refined essays collected from her two decades of scholarship and it's absolutely necessary reading for feminists who are interested in the subject of decolonization, third-world feminism, and to seriously grapple with the existing ways in which the social justice movements of feminism has been wielded even by the hands of power. Mohanty deals with epistemological and framing issues: the way the third world woman is represented and studied, & how her representation as purely victim who doesn't go above her object status thus posits the white woman as the liberated subject with agency. She wants to have an idea of solidarity that goes beyond the ahistorical idea of "sisterhood" that presumes a universal female experience that is insensitive to the reality of power relations even between women, especially int he context of global capitalism & the how the reality of the prison/corporate/military/academic complex consistently & disproportionately negatively affect women of colour. She thus critiques a narrow approach to identity-based praxis (my favourite part, personally) & calls for a more accountable, deeper vision of solidarity.

"The existence of Third World women's narratives in itself is not evidence of decentering hegemonic histories and subjectivities. It is the way in which they are read, understood, and located institutionally that is of paramount importance"

I really related and enjoyed the parts when she talked about how diversity, race, gender and these identity differences are "managed" & reduced to an individualist approach outsourced to diversity consultants or something, which in a way signals the co-optation of radical movements, & also the shift of looking at these injustices as an institutional & historical product that needs to be politically organised against, instead of simply about managing interpersonal, individual reactions.

This monograph relates feminist theory to politics and to political development and economic development and the rights of women in the developing world. It connects theory and pedagogy and questions of women's everyday life in the developing world, in the process decolonising feminism.
