Intersectional Feminism in the Age of Transnationalism: Voices from the Margins explores the limitations of the transnationalist approach to feminism and questions the neoliberal emphasis on individual freedom and consumer choice as the central goals of feminist activism. The contributions to the volume discuss such varied topics as fiction by Edwidge Dandicat, Judith Ortiz-Cofer, and Diamela Eltit; visual art of Laura Aguilar and Maruja Mallo; films directed by Lucrecia Martel; a TV series based on a novel by María Dueñas; the art-activism of Ani Ganzala and Zinha Franco; and the philosophical thought of Gloria Anzaldúa. All chapters proceed from the belief in the continued usefulness of intersectionality as a valuable category of critical analysis that is particularly necessary at the time when the effects of neoliberal globalization are undermining many familiar categories of critical inquiry.

Written during the COVID-19 pandemic by contributing authors who are at different stages of their academic careers, the volume critically engages with the impact of neoliberalism, globalization, and transnationalism in the Americas. The editors’ inclusion of female and feminist scholars who are immigrants to the US and others who reside abroad highlights multiple positionalities. This emphasizes an intersectional feminist framework of analysis attuned to power structures that produce structures of oppression based on notions of race, sexuality, socioeconomic class, citizenship, and ability. The book also provides a critical lens through which to study the ways in which neoliberalism has appropriated feminist discourses. Hence, this collection offers an important intervention in feminist as well as Latina/o/Hispanic studies by reaffirming the continued relevance of intersectional frameworks of analysis. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty.
