Transnational Feminism in the\u003cbr\u003eUnited States examines how transnational perspectives shape the ways in\u003cbr\u003ewhich we create and disseminate knowledge about the world within the United\u003cbr\u003eStates, and how the paradigm of transnational feminism is affected by national\u003cbr\u003enarratives and public discourses within the country itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn innovative theoretical\u003cbr\u003eproject that is both deconstructive and constructive, this bookinterrogates the limits of feminist\u003cbr\u003ethought, primarily through case\u003cbr\u003estudies that illustrate its power to create new fields of research out of\u003cbr\u003etraditionally interdisciplinary lines of inquiry. Leela Fernandes discusses\u003cbr\u003eways to approach, analyze, and capture processes that exceed and unsettle the\u003cbr\u003enation-state within the transnational feminist paradigm. Examining the links\u003cbr\u003ebetween power and knowledge that bind interdisciplinary theory and research, she shines new light on issues such\u003cbr\u003eas human rights as well as academic debates about transnational feminist\u003cbr\u003eperspectives on global issues. A thought-provoking analysis, Transnational Feminism in the United States powerfully\u003cbr\u003econtributes to the field of Women's\u003cbr\u003eStudies and related cross-disciplinary scholarship on feminist theory and\u003cbr\u003egender from a global perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leela Fernandes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814770337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFernandes, Leela:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eLeela Fernandes\u003c\/b\u003e is the Glenda Dickerson Collegiate Professor of Women's Studies and Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan, and author of India's New Middle Class: Democratic Politics in an Era of Economic Reform; Producing Workers: The Politics of Gender, Class and Culture in the Calcutta Jute Mills; and Transforming Feminist Practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40183705436275,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_6d5e2c46-199f-4165-9d0b-3fb1756812f3.jpg?v=1655558327","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/transnational-feminism-in-the-united-states-knowledge-ethics-power-9780814770337","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
