Mapping the Feminist Imagination: From Redistribution to Recognition to Representation
Year: 2007
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: For many years, feminists throughout the world looked to the United States for the most advanced theory and practice. Today, however, US feminism finds itself at an impasse, stymied by the hostile, post-9/11 political climate. Unsure how to pursue gender justice under current condition’s, we are now returning the favor, by looking to feminists elsewhere for inspiration and guidance. Today, accordingly, the cutting edge of gender struggle has shifted away from the United States, to transnational spaces, such as „Europe“, where the room for maneuver is greater. The consequence is a major shift in the geography of feminist energies.
