Transnational

This chapter focuses on how contemporary authors incorporate the methods and ideas of transnational feminism in texts that foreground the connections between misogyny, colonialism, capitalism, and environmental destruction. Anita Rau Badami’s Tamarind Mem and Farzana Doctor’s Seven imagine new forms of solidarity among women in India, while resisting homogenizing master concepts that universalize the experiences of women. Dionne Brand’s Inventory and Larissa Lai and Rita Wong’s sybil unrest each develop a poetics of “linkage” that subverts the logic of capitalist devastation. Lai’s Salt Fish Girl imagines an anti-racist and queer answer to corporate greed and environmental crisis.
