Transnational Testimonios

"DeRocher argues that the ‘story-based methodology’ employed by testimonios and the use of pathos creates a communicative bridge between text and reader that effectively mitigates apathetic or defensive responses by readers while negotiating the power differentials between differently socially placed readers. This approach breathes new life into comparativist and feminist global frameworks."

"DeRocher has sought out and woven together material of broad scope—both primary texts and critical sources—to construct her cogent and thought-provoking arguments. Transnational Testimonios is a strong contribution to a growing body of work that recognizes the global nature of testimonios."

"A ground-breaking book on grass-roots women activism in Latin America and the Global South. DeRocher masterfully addresses important philosophical issues of translation, knowledge, power, and political action, and positions herself at the forefront of a new generation of scholars who are producing cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research in transnational feminist theory, global critical theory, political epistemology, and theories of activism and social movements."
