Pedagogies of Crossing
M. Jacqui Alexander is one of the most important theorists of transnational feminism working today. Pedagogies of Crossing brings together essays she has written over the past decade, uniting her incisive critiques, which have had such a profound impact on feminist, queer, and critical race theories, with some of her more recent work. 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 r...
Feminist Genealogies, Colonial Legacies, Democratic Futures
Feminist Geneaologies, Colonial Legacies, Democratic Futures provides a feminist anaylsis of the questions of sexual and gender politics, economic and cultural marginality, and anti-racist and anti-colonial practices both in the "West" and in the "Third World." This collection, edited by Jacqui Alexander and Chandra Talpade Mohanty, charts the underlying theoretical perspectives and organization practices of the different varieties of feminism that take on questions of colonialism, imperialism, and the repressive rule of colonial, post-colonial and advanced capitalist nation-states. It provides a comparative, relational, historically grounded conception of feminist praxis that differs markedly from the liberal pluralist, multicultural understanding that sheapes some of the dominant version of Euro-American feminism. As a whole, the collection poses a unique challenge to the naturalization of gender based in the experiences, histories and practices of Euro-American women.
Sing, Whisper, Shout, Pray!
Sing, Whisper, Shout, Pray! is an indispensable guide to the progressive politics of race, class, and gender in the new millennium from leading feminist writers of our time. Collecting essential writings of the last two decades right through the events of September 2001, the anthology provides a definitive reference work for academics and activists committed to deep and unflinching inquiry into the mechanisms of global justice in the post-Cold War world. This timely volume offers uncompromising examinations of the exploitation of Third World women under NAFTA; the real costs of the Colombian drug war; the inner dynamics of white supremacy; Zionism and anti-Semitism; ecological racism; indigenous sovereignty struggles in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico; and much more. Contributors include Toni Morrison, Audre Lorde, Edwidge Danticat, Cherrie Moraga, Gloria Anzaldua, Angela Y. Davis, Winona LaDuke, and vital, new voices from an emerging activist culture.

M Archive

Third World Women and the Politics of Feminism
"The essays are provocative and enhance knowledge of Third World women's issues. Highly recommended . . . " —Choice " . . . the book challenges assumptions and pushes historic and geographical boundaries that must be altered if women of all colors are to win the struggles thrust upon us by the 'new world order' of the 1990s." —New Directions for Women "This surely is a book for anyone trying to comprehend the ways sexism fuels racism in a post-colonial, post-Cold War world that remains dangerous for most women." —Cynthia H. Enloe " . . . provocative analyses of the simultaneous oppressions of race, class, gender and sexuality . . . a powerful collection." —Gloria Anzaldúa " . . . pr...
Wizzy’s Words
Wizzy’s Words is a book of 70 illustrated, modern nursery rhymes incorporating the oral vocabulary that has been shown to signal future success if developed before school entry. The set of rhymes provides a well-researched resource for parents, carers, family and educators to share with children from birth. The resource was developed in response to the needs of children in danger of being ‘left behind’ but has been designed to appeal to all children and will provide a launch pad for language work beyond the pre-reading stage. Designed to engage, empower and educate children, Wizzy's Words bridges the gap left in the market for pre-school books/resources that specifically target the learning of oral vocabulary. An important and - just as important - fun learning tool for children aged 0 - 5 years.
The Third Wave
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s communities of color have faced skyrocketing racial violence, the curtailing of economic and educational opportunities, and attacks upon basic civil rights. The Third Wave: Feminist Perspectives on Racism is the first major anthology to focus specifically upon racial oppression and strategies for eradicating it from the perspectives of women -- both European-American and women of color. This collection also analyzes racism in the international contexts of colonization and imperialism. Essays, poetry, and fiction by a wide variety of contributors including Anne Braden, Beth Brant, Mari Matsuda, Cherrie Moraga, Toni Morrison, Sonia Sanchez, and Haunani-Kay Trask offer fresh theoretical and practical approaches to achieving justice. The Third Wave will be an essential resource for years to come.
Transforming Feminist Practice
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.
