ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book argues that the amnesia that resulted has weakened feminists’ grasp of transnational transformations. It offers an invitation to radical theorizing of the feminist project in the face of ongoing processes of exclusion and dedemocratization. The book argues that has most seriously concerned the scholar–activists of the de-developed states and heightened their concern about the apparent depoliticization of much of what counts as feminist theory. It provides a more integrative theory of joined macro–micro dilemmas and resistances and invite readers to join them in further articulating how the nature of these connections vary place by place. From the standpoint of the borderlands of Europe, postcolonial thought seems to have prematurely closed off its exploration of the meaning of empire and colony as specific kinds of places.
