جزییات کتاب
SYLVANNA M. FALCÓN is an assistant professor of Latin American and Latino Studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
"This book highlights an important shift in the UN discourse around race that occurred at the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Related Intolerances but was soon overshadowed by the events of 9/11. Its analysis of the two UN agendas that began almost as parallel mandates, but came to intersect due to the work of feminists of color working in both the women's rights and social justice arenas, makes a significant contribution to the field."
-Lisa Crooms-Robinson, professor of law, Howard University
"Power Interrupted contributes to the literature on the ways that transnational feminism is both shaping and opening new spaces of possibilities within the UN and transforming the activists and their strategies."
-Manisha Desai, author of Gender and the Politics of Possibilities: Rethinking Globalization
"Theoretically rich and empirically rigorous, Power Interrupted will shift the way scholars and activists think about the United Nations as a site for feminist anti-racist activism. This work represents the best of the new scholarship pushing us to think more productively about the connections and tensions between intersectionality and the transnational. Falcón shows that anti-racist feminism is challenging the UN to expand the way it addresses racism and women's rights. A must read."
-Mary Margaret Fonow, coauthor of Making Feminist Politics: Transnational Alliances between Women and Labor
