The sixth edition of the Feminist Theory Reader provides a general introduction to feminist theory, both in the United States and globally.
In their balance of foundational and contemporary texts, the editors situate feminist theory within intersectional and transnational social justice movements and uphold the book’s challenge to readers to rethink the ways in which gender and its multiple intersections are configured by complex, overlapping, and asymmetrical configurations of power. The new edition furthers its commitment to the voices of transnational feminist scholars throughout the book’s four central sections and addresses an array of topics of contemporary concern, including the care crisis, reproductive justice, indigenous feminisms, global civil society, settler colonialism, violence, prison abolition, neoliberal feminisms, transfeminism, and disability studies. A substantially revised final section considers solidarity strategies in contemporary times to tie together a new edition that shares theories of feminism and the voices and experiences of women across time and place, drawing from them important lessons for the present day.
Enriching its foundation with newer essays and expanded scope, the Feminist Theory Reader delves even deeper into the paradigmatic concepts of the field and cements its place as a touchstone for feminist scholars, teachers, and students of women’s and gender studies for many years to come.
"Building on the rich cross-border engagements that characterized previous editions of the Feminist Theory Reader, the sixth edition of this now-classic collection includes new readings on caring labor, post-feminism, transnational solidarties and more to help readers negotiate contemporary debates within the field.This is an ideal text for anyone seeking to become an informed, critical, and reflexive thinker and activist for social justice."
Suzanne Bergeron, Helen Mataya Graves Collegiate Emerita Professor of Women's Studies and Social Sciences at the University of Michigan Dearborn
"Remarkably rich in its selection and insightful in its execution, the sixth edition of Feminist Theory Reader: Local and Global Perspectives is a significant resource for all feminist readers, including students, teachers, and activists. In attending to key recent debates and the dynamism and vibrancy of feminist scholarship, this anthology covers an impressive terrain from the intimate to the global and provides a terrific introduction to a wide range of frameworks and perspectives, including intersectional queer theories of perfomativity, postcolonial and decolonial theories of subjectivity, indigenous feminist studies, translation studies, and disability studies."
Richa Nagar, Inaugural Gloria Steinem Endowed Chair in Women and Gender Studies at Smith College and Professor Emeritus of Gender, Women, & Sexuality Studies at the University of Minnesota
"The sixth edition of Feminist Theory Reader is a valuable resource in the English language for those interested in the ever-growing and dynamic field of feminist studies. The editors have carefully crafted a collection of essays across a wide range of feminist epistemological traditions and interdisciplinary fields to offer readers a complex and nuanced introduction to feminist theory. By introducing new essays in this collection, the editors not only enhance the multiplicity of perspectives represented, but they also invite us to leave open the possibility of undoing fixed and canonical imaginations of "feminism" and "theory."
