Transforming Feminist Practice

Non-Violence, Social Justice and the Possibilities of a Spiritualized Feminism

Beschreibung

Cultural Writing. Leela Fernandes' years of teaching women's studies courses at Rutgers-where she has seen frustration, paralysis and depression take hold of young students grappling with the hard realities of social activism-led her to examine the state of contemporary feminism and social justice movements. The result is an accessible social critique that goes directly to the heart of the issues. TRANSFORMING FEMINIST PRACTICE takes a hard, unrelenting look at social justice organizations, academia, and identity politics, refocusing the struggle and opening a dialogue for a new era.
