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.

"Depuis la quatrième Conférence mondiale sur les femmes à Beijing, on observe une forte augmentation du nombre de personnes expertes en genre. Celles-ci circulent, tout comme les pratiques, les idées, les théories et les textes féministes qui voyagent sont interprétés, resignifiés. Des inégalités existent dans les processus d'élaboration, la circulation et la traduction des savoirs. Le champ social constitué par les expertes en genre est ainsi traversé par des rapports de pouvoir. La notion de colonialité du pouvoir et des savoirs permet d'interroger l'hégémonie et l'autorité universelle des discours et des savoirs occidentaux. Les contributions des études féministes pour revisiter le développement sont soulignées dans cet ouvrage. Ces apports, énoncés depuis diverses perspectives, s'inscrivent dans des espaces de contestation de l'ordre mondial, sont nourris de la prise de conscience des multiples rapports de domination et de l'émergence de nouveaux mouvements sociaux. Ils participent d'un processus de décolonisation de la pensée féministe. Avec la collection "Genre et développement. Rencontres", nous poursuivons le dialogue de savoirs sur les questions féministes et de genre, la construction d'alliances et de ponts entre chercheur-es, organisations féministes et de recherche, ONG, organisations de coopération, expertes, aux Nords et aux Suds. Les textes, écrits par des chercheur-es ou personnes actives dans ces initiatives sont publiés dans leur langue originale."--Page 4 of cover. Les contributions tentent une épistémologie des études sur le genre notamment en s'appuyant sur les recherches qui ont pour sujet le rôle de la femme dans le développement. Electre 2017.
