Feminist Solidarity at the Crossroads: Intersectional Women’s Studies for Transracial Alliance - Routledge Research in Gender and Society
Women?s studies programs and departments face ongoing fall-out from an economic crisis in higher education. Taking the form of budget-cuts, reduction of faculty lines and other resource allocations, for some programs and departments it has meant at best, a loss of disciplinary autonomy through consolidation, and at worst, academic foreclosure. Feminist Solidarity at the Crossroads articulates a politics of commitment, hope, and possibility wrought in the coming-together of a group of feminist women and men?across racial, cultural, nation/state, sexual, and gender differences?during a tough budgetary time threatening Women?s Studies programs across the nation. This anthology affirms the continued necessity of bridge-building alliances in women?s studies and contemplates with promise the theory and practice of feminist solidarity forged through the course of its production. While the essays in this book display a complex diversity of feminist thought and modes of intersectional strategies, they reflect a unity of comradery and a spirit of collectivity so necessary for these turbulent times.
