Transnational Feminist Solidarity in a Postcolonial World

This piece is an attempt to think through some of the ways in which feminists in the Global South, during the period of decolonisation, thought about difference and hierarchy, and how they imagined solidarity despite—and through—these realities. This is part of a larger project that looks at transnational feminist connections and disconnections during the moment of decolonisation in the twentieth century. I touch on moments of both disconnection and connection to show how postcolonial feminists articulated solidarity and how they negotiated coming together as well as understanding the complicated notion of identity and representation within movements that they highlight.
