Emigré feminism : transnational perspectives
"Bringing together the views of expatriate, exiled, and emigre feminists from various parts of the world, this collection explores themes of exile, home, displacement, and the practice of feminism across national boundaries." "The thirteen articles presented here originated with a conference on emigre feminism held at Trent University in October 1996. The authors, most of them now living in Canada, are scholars from South Africa, Uganda, Chile, Trinidad and Tobago, Greece, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, Turkey, Iran, Finland, and New Zealand. Their views have been shaped by their experience of specific political and economic changes, such as the dismantling of communism and apartheid, the rise of religious fundamentalism, and rapid marketization. Together the essays offer a rich diversity of intellectual, political, cultural, and religious perspectives."--Jacket
