M. Tlostanova

Gender Epistemologies and Eurasian Borderlands

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Tlostanova examines Central Asia and the Caucasus to trace the genealogy of feminism in those regions following the dissolution of the USSR. The forms it takes resist interpretation through the lenses of Western feminist theory and woman of color feminism, hence Eurasian borderland feminism must chart a third path.
