- Description
- In this landmark interdisciplinary volume, Alexander points to a number of critical imperatives made all the more urgent by contemporary manifestations of neoimperialism and neocolonialism. Among these are the need for North American feminism and queer studies to take up transnational frameworks that foreground questions of colonialism, political economy, and racial formation: for a thorough re-conceptualization of modernity to account for the heteronormative regulatory practices of modern state formations: and for feminists to wrestle with the spiritual dimensions of experience and the meaning of sacred subjectivity.
