Borderlands in European Gender Studies : Beyond the East–West Frontier Hardback
Edited by Teresa Kulawik, Zhanna Kravchenko
Part of the Routledge Advances in Feminist Studies and Intersectionality series
Hardback
Description
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.
