ABSTRACT
This concluding chapter intends to move international scholars toward transnational (feminist) frameworks. In making that argument the blind spots of a state-centric approach are enumerated. A significant portion of the chapter explores the meaning of solidarity, distinguishable from more short-term support. In building upon the work of transnational feminists, the case for a Transnational Black Feminist Framework is developed. Two specific opportunities for transnational solidarity are explored. First, a reproductive justice framework, developed by women of color in the US, is seen as having the potential to expand the options for young Garifuna women, who are often shamed for becoming pregnant while pursing university studies. Second, food sovereignty movements are explored as impacting recent victories for communal land titles in ancestral Garifuna villages of Honduras. There is potential for African Americans in the US to learn from such successes. Black feminist anthropologists are described as doing work that is already engaging transnational discussions and collaborations related to reproductive justice and the fight against land grab. The chapter ends with an exploration of the TBF principles in relation to the work of building transnational (feminist) solidarity.
