Mirage of Afro-feminism explores a very important and recurrent theme in human societies'the need to accord women and children their rightful places in society. In exploring the subject, the author lays a subtle but convincing development and precision of plots, with the characters of Mrs. Lawal, Dr. Hafsat, Edna Shay, Corporal Talachi, Dr. Asunki, and Katherine as key players, with a cloud of other characters. The whole plot is relayed through an exciting and captivating style of narrative in the unique tone of the author, which, in turn, makes every scenario enjoyable, replayable, and exciting with every sense of accuracy and exactness, without any space for makeup or aborted suspense. The plot depicted through the character of Mrs. Lawal expresses the needs for selfless service, sacrifice, love, and care as values for positive social change. Dr. Hafsat: Through her, the work vividly shows the plight of women in society with an emphasis on the lack of respect for women as a major constraint to effective emancipation. Also, in her character, the off-track trends in women's rights'solidarity, activism, and feminism, alongside their overbearing and counterproductive tendencies against genuine women's liberation and empowerment'are highlighted. Edna Shay: Through her, the plot hints at the difference between the developed and developing worlds, which is attitude, characterized by respect for oneself and others on the one hand and lack of respect for humanity on the other hand. Talachi: Through him, the plot gives a picture of to what extent a kind fellow can go to support the human cause and to help others live a better life, especially under the burden of undoing one's mistakes against humanity, and to have a free conscience by personal conviction. Dr. Asunki: In this character, a seeker of better ways to live and an accomplished personality who is chiefly concerned with seeing people, especially women, get accomplished to the fullest of their potentials, is depicted. Katherine: In her character, a dormant deputy is seen, who, on coming to the stage, turns into a game changer in a dwindling and obscured women's forum. Her mien, experience, and temperament are the forces that propel Dr. Hafsat to take a resolute step to solve the puzzle that mitigates her efforts in women's rights and feminist pursuits. Mirage of Afro-feminism is a work that speaks against global indifference and irresoluteness in the plight of women and children alongside some other people globally, especially people trapped in conflict zones across the globe, in a loud and clear tone. The book also breaks the socioreligious silence about the status quo of women.

With the fracture of the notion of one unitary global sisterhood of every woman in any corner of the globe and irrespective of status, the recent trend in feminist scholarship has been for indigenous feminists to retreat to the comfort of their regions or communities to find a workable theory for issues and problems of women they actually know. As a result, some subjects that used to be popular - sisterhood is global, black feminism, Western feminism, etc. - have fallen into oblivion. On the contrary, indigenous feminisms have become popular as pockets of feminist theorists attempt to found a feminism that speaks to women of their particular locality in terms of gender and sex issues, class, development, politics, economics and the list goes on. Between these two poles is the struggle for social justice, including human rights, ethnic and racial justice, political and economic justice, power and authority, and the fight against oppression and subordination of women and females. Obviously, patriarchy and racism are two sides of the same coin; they work against feminist ideals. Hence, recent feminist consciousness is taking cognizance of issues of race and feminism together, both at the local and the global arena.This anthology argues that indigenous feminist theorists should expand their local vision into the global context. First, one good result is that feminist will get a better grip on the subjects of their protest, which are not always clear from one theorist or activist to the other. When experiences of local women are expanded onto the world level, one begins to see how the female condition is similar or different, barring local color. Second, one can see why feminism should go beyond women's issues only to fight for equal opportunities for all peoples all over the world. A fight for intersectionality in feminist scholarship, for example, demonstrates that a fight against ethnicity and racism is also a fight against kyriarchy. This is because issues of power, repression and subordination are not only for dignity, respect and regard for women, but for all citizens irrespective of gender.

Feminist Geneaologies, Colonial Legacies, Democratic Futures provides a feminist anaylsis of the questions of sexual and gender politics, economic and cultural marginality, and anti-racist and anti-colonial practices both in the "West" and in the "Third World." This collection, edited by Jacqui Alexander and Chandra Talpade Mohanty, charts the underlying theoretical perspectives and organization practices of the different varieties of feminism that take on questions of colonialism, imperialism, and the repressive rule of colonial, post-colonial and advanced capitalist nation-states. It provides a comparative, relational, historically grounded conception of feminist praxis that differs markedly from the liberal pluralist, multicultural understanding that sheapes some of the dominant version of Euro-American feminism. As a whole, the collection poses a unique challenge to the naturalization of gender based in the experiences, histories and practices of Euro-American women.

For over 40 years, the leading international treaty body on women's rights, the Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (the CEDAW Committee), has been generating jurisprudence interpreting CEDAW's obligations that states protect the equal rights of women. This book concludes that CEDAW's re-engendering of property--although a flawed and evolving work in progress--has the potential to be transformative for the half of the planet who is more likely to be treated as property than to have any.

Transnational Perspecives on Feminism and Art, 1960–1985 is a collection of essential essays that bring transnational feminist praxis into conversation with histories of feminist art in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s. The artistic practices and processes examined within these pages all centre on gender and sexual politics as they variously intersect with race, class, sovereignty, Indigeneity, citizenship, and migration at particular historical moments and within specific geopolitical contexts. The book’s central premise is that reconsidering this period from transnational feminist perspectives will enable new thinking about the critical commonalities and differences across heterogeneous and geographically dispersed practices that have contributed to the complex and multifaceted relationship between feminism and art today. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, cultural studies, visual culture, material culture, and gender studies.
