Book Description

Transnational Perspecives on Feminism and Art, 1960-1985 is a collection of essential essays that bring transnational feminist praxis into conversations with histories of feminist art in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s.

The artistic practices and processes examined within these pages all center 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 heterogenous 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.
