- Description
- The book examines feminist testimonios from a wide range of countries, including Argentina, Egypt, Haiti, India, Jamaica, and Trinidad as well as the United States. The author suggests that feminist testimonios offer a model for cross-border feminist alliance building. The book focuses on the questions of translation, knowledge and power that characterize the creation and reception of these life writings. DeRocher demonstrates how these stories can mobilize social activism and intervene in epistemological impasses between the Global North and South, offering tools for reimagining transnational feminist politics.
