Asian American Feminisms and Women of Color Politics

"It is a ground-breaking work that builds a robust and outspoken Asian American feminist conceptual framework and praxis with special attention to the complexities of Asian American feminist resistances, struggles, and self-creations."

"[P]rovides a road map in developing Asian American feminist theory and coalitional politics."

"Maps out an Asian American feminist genealogy that is rooted in women of color feminism as well as a framework for what constitutes Asian American feminist theoretical critique."

"An important assessment of the theoretical and conceptual frameworks within Asian American feminisms that weaves together foundational texts from generations past with contemporary contexts."

"Asian American Feminisms and Women of Color Politics argues compellingly for necessary theoretical and political engagements with practices of dialogue and solidarity, but also with histories of erasure and exclusion, between Asian American feminisms and women of color politics. This is an exciting collection of dynamic and forthright essays grappling with the possibilities, and incommensurabilities, of coalition-making and strategies for creating, sustaining, and sometimes breaking them – and we would do well to listen to its insights."

"In Asian American Feminisms and Women of Color Politics, Lynn Fujiwara and Shireen Roshanravan establish a critical framework for understanding Asian American feminisms as a field of scholarly, political inquiry that engages the theory and praxis of women of color feminisms. This exciting, groundbreaking collection should be required reading for scholars of Asian American Studies and Women’s and Gender Studies, as well as anyone interested in women of color politics, epistemologies, and coalitions."
