"Bury the Corpse of Colonialism is an urgent, passionate, and erudite intervention, restoring to its proper place the essential role that African, Asian, Caribbean, and Latin American women played in shaping the international theory and praxis of anti-imperialism in the twentieth century. Elisabeth Armstrong's lucidly written and thoroughly researched book decolonizes the standard history of the origins of global feminism."--Kristen Ghodsee, author of Second World, Second Sex: Socialist Women's Activism and Global Solidarity during the Cold War "Armstrong weaves a riveting tale of feminist organizing that spans the globe. Capacious yet intimate, this book brings to life women from buried photos and takes us along on their journeys for justice, with lasting insights for all. Captivating and enriching."--Suzy Kim, author of Among Women across Worlds: North Korea in the Global Cold War "Armstrong has dug deep into a seam of hidden history to unearth the story of brave communist women from across the world who wanted not only to transcend imperialism but to build a humane socialist order. This is a story of women from Vietnam to the Ivory Coast who met in Beijing in 1949 and then went home--at great risk--to break the chains of servitude. This is a fantastic history, bristling with hope."--Vijay Prashad, author of Struggle Makes Us Human: Learning from Movements for Socialism "Bury the Corpse of Colonialism shows how the women of the Women's International Democratic Federation advanced a theory and practice of internationalism, solidarity with Asian women, and Asian women's leadership several years before the much-vaunted Bandung conference. The women that Armstrong writes about come to life, with their personal stories, journeys, personalities, dedication, and even their senses of humor."--Valentine Moghadam, author of Globalizing Women: Transnational Feminist Networks "This is nothing short of a breakthrough for the study of imperialism, and of feminism. Bury the Corpse of Colonialism situates the core of early and mid-twentieth century feminist struggle outside of Western Europe and North America, while also emphasizing women's collective political agency and their experiments in feminist organization."--Manu Karuka, author of Empire's Tracks: Indigenous Nations, Chinese Workers, and the Transcontinental Railroad
