Feminist Responses to Crises and Dehumanization brings together academic knowledge with activist strategies and lived experiences from different socio-geographic angles––bridging the gap between theory and on-the-ground impact.The experience of the Covid-19 pandemic has laid bare humanity’s existential vulnerabilities. But ecological, economic, political, reproductive, and other instabilities have also shown us how we are connected to non-human species and planet Earth, and how human practices that have long normalized devaluation have in fact created the contemporary multi-crisis. In response to this historical moment, this book articulates visions toward fairer, more caring, and sustainable societies. It brings together feminist and queer scholars and scholar-activists from different world regions who write about critical crisis issues, offer reinterpretations of these crises and develop strategies of resistance. The contributions focus on three dimensions of crisis—ecological devastation and economic exploitation; political authoritarianism and violence; and the denial of reproductive justice and bodily autonomy—and combine systemic and situated analysis with a focus on agency.This volume will appeal to scholars and students interested in transnational feminism, in areas such as Gender Studies, Political Science, Social Studies, and International Relations.
