What is needed today to create a decolonised theory, a practice of solidarity – a feminism without borders?

In *Feminism Without Borders*, the pioneering theorist and feminist Chandra Talpade Mohanty has brought together her most significant writings from nearly two decades of work as an intellectual and activist. Mohanty has long been regarded as one of the pioneers of internationalist and justice-oriented feminism. Her critique of globalisation and her thorough reckoning with the mainstream of Western feminism have earned her both opponents and supporters. Building on her classic essay ‘Through Western Eyes’, she examines the current world order from a perspective of solidarity and observes both new hierarchies and new strategies of resistance emerging from global power structures.

This volume addresses several of the pressing issues facing feminism today:
– the need for a decolonised and democratised feminist theory and practice
– the question of boundaries and the relationship between feminist research and social movements
– the interplay between categories such as gender, race and class in the context of globalisation
– the destructive and demoralising effects of racism within the women’s movement;
– the relationship between anti-capitalist struggle and feminist politics
