Abstract:
Transatlantic Feminisms examines the gendered complexities of African and African diaspora worlds. This book includes striking accounts of women's strategies to challenge, circumvent, or manage threats to their survival from such forces as patriarchal political regimes, militarism and violence, migration, displacement, and unrelenting poverty.
