Feminism for the World - Lola Olufemi

In the years since #MeToo, misogyny, sexism, and gender-based violence have flooded the news and our social media timelines. Anti-privilege politics and intersectionality have entered the mainstream--systematically trolled on one end of the spectrum and embraced, to questionable ends, on the other. But what has this increased visibility entailed, other than the marketization of the feminist struggle? \nFeminism for the World argues that we have been witnessing an erasure of feminism as a long-term tradition, with its many conflicting histories and geographies of struggle elided and forgotten. \n \n In this ground-breaking collection, eight leading international figures of contemporary feminism highlight feminist struggles and traditions from the Global South, presenting feminism as an impossible project without international solidarity from the West. In doing so, they revive authentic internationalism and propose paths for present and future generations.\n
