Feminist Solidarity at the Crossroads

Womenâs studies programs and departments face ongoing fall-out from an economic crisis in higher education. Taking the form of budget-cuts reduction of faculty lines and other resource allocations for some programs and departments it has meant at best a loss of disciplinary autonomy through consolidation and at worst academic foreclosure. Feminist Solidarity at the Crossroads articulates a politics of commitment hope and possibility wrought in the coming-together of a group of feminist women and menâacross racial cultural nation/state sexual and gender differencesâduring a tough budgetary time threatening Womenâs Studies programs across the nation. This anthology affirms the continued necessity of bridge-building alliances in womenâs studies and contemplates with promise the theory and practice of feminist solidarity forged through the course of its production. While the essays in this book display a complex diversity of feminist thought and modes of intersectional strategies they reflect a unity of comradery and a spirit of collectivity so necessary for these turbulent times. .
