draws attention to the experiences of Black women who were targets of police violence.
In Chapter 23 on “Feminist Praxis and Gender Violence,” Margaret Campe and Claire Renzetti provide an overview of different theories that explain interpersonal and structural violence, including liberal and radical feminisms. They also discuss the significance of intersectional analysis for revealing the complex inequalities and differential risk faced by different women. They close with an analysis of feminist political economic explanations that explicate the mutually reinforcing dynamics of interpersonal and structural dimensions of gender‐based violence.
In Chapter 24, Astrid Ulloa discusses the history and contributions of feminists to the interdisciplinary field of Political Ecology. She describes different strands, one originating within an Anglo‐Saxon context and the other in Latin America. While there are common themes across these two approaches, they each have different histories, socio‐political contexts and physical environments. Ulloa describes “the diverse contributions from feminisms, gender studies and gender and development discussions, and the approaches of ecofeminism.” She then focuses specifically on Latin American Feminist Political Ecology to emphasize the significance of “diverse feminisms, feminist spatialities, feminist movements, and indigenous women's movements.” She draws on her own experience and scholarship and concludes by considering contemporary debates and trends in the field.
In Chapter 25, the final chapter, Molli Spalter considers the importance of sustainability and solidarity in “Feminism and Social Justice Movements.” She opens with an overview of the history of feminist movements and surveys the key trends in the scholarship on feminist social movements, including an understanding of intersectional identities and the importance of global perspectives. Spalter notes the growing influence of feminist praxis in social justice movements, broadly defined, and illustrates with a discussion of Palestinian Working Woman Society for Development and Black Lives Matter.
Conclusion
It is an exciting and challenging time for the field of Feminist Studies. While Feminist Studies and feminism, more generally, have been the target of backlash and ridicule by right‐wing critics (Leach 2020; Kano 2011; Oakley and Mitchell 1997; Silva and Mendes 2015), feminism has also broadened its influence from women's movement activism and scholarship to broader social justice movements and has entered mainstream celebrity culture and everyday discourse (Kemp 2017). Feminist Studies faculty are training a new generation of scholars and activists who are committed to intersectional and transnational praxis. Feminist pedagogues in all academic settings are transforming educational contexts for students around the world. This edited collection provides historical perspectives, cutting edge scholarship, and contemporary debates in the field for those engaged in this important educational and activist role. Our hope is that this volume becomes a resource for students, faculty, and activists who are dedicated to social justice and critical engagements which challenge inequalities and oppression in everyday life and help build toward a just and peaceful future. It is also important to acknowledge the gaps in what we are able to cover in this volume and encourage greater dialogue and more sustained attention to the work produced in sites farther removed from the hegemonic Western and Northern social and geographic context that, despite our efforts in the chapters to follow, is still underrepresented.
