Beskrivning
Engendering Transnational Transgressions reclaims the transgressive side of feminist history, challenging hegemonic norms and the power of patriarchies. Through the lenses of intersectionality, gender analysis, and transnational feminist theory, it addresses the political in public and intimate spaces.The book begins by highlighting the transgressive nature of feminist historiography. It then divides into two parts—Part I, Intimate Transgressions: Marriage and Sexuality, examines marriage and divorce as viewed through a transnational lens, and Part II, Global Transgressions: Networking for Justice and Peace, considers political and social violence as well as struggles for relief, redemption, and change by transnational networks of women. Chapters are archivally grounded and take a critical approach that underscores the local in the global and the significance of intersectional factors within the intimate. They bring into conversation literatures too often separated: history of feminisms and anti-war, anti-imperial/anti-fascist, and related movements, on the one hand, and studies of gender crossings, marriage reconstitution, and affect and subjectivities, on the other. In so doing, the book encourages the reader to rethink standard interpretations of rights, equality, and recognition.This is the ideal volume for students and scholars of Women’s and Gender History and Women’s and Gender Studies, as well as International, Transnational, and Global History, History of Social Movements, and related specialized topics.

"An invaluable contribution to transnational feminist history! With capacious imagination and broad geographic scope, Boris, Dawson, and Molony's volume showcases outstanding scholarship connecting intimate and cross-border transgressions. Its stellar contributors trace how heteronormative and eugenic marriage norms were flouted and reformed around the globe, as well as how anticolonial, communist, and antimilitarism feminist networks and movements were built against several odds. This book underscores how important it is to analytically connect brave personal rebellions against gender norms with the fierce solidarity of those whose search for justice took them beyond their nations."Ashwini Tambe, Editorial Director of Feminist Studies and author of Defining Girlhood in India: A Transnational History of Sexual Maturity Laws"Engendering Transnational Transgressions offers a fascinating collection of essays that explore individual and collective forms of resistance in the realm of the intimate and the explicitly political. The chapters span various parts of the world, most notably the global South and the former second world and focuses predominantly on the 20th century but with contributions that go further back in time as well. This is a valuable contribution that will enrich the historical understanding of transnational feminisms and offer new insights that foreground intersectional analyses of personal and collective resistance that transcend national boundaries."Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, co-President of the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians; Professor of Asian American History and Director of the Humanities Center, University of California at Irvine, United States, CA, USA
