The political and intellectual life stories of an amazing cohort of radical feminist takes us through five decades of dynamic history and spans the globe.Their stories, ideas, fortitude and courage provide a powerful guide to the freedom-making work of the mid 20th through the early 21st centuries. The book is yet another gift of insight and critical feminist praxis from Chandra Talpade Mohanty and Linda Carty, sister-scholars and collaborators whose own collective passion and commitments are also in every page of this collection."-Barbara Ransby, author, historian, activist and President of the National Womens Studies Association, (2016-2018)"This collection brings together feminist visionaries to think deeply about how we sustain our movements, each other, and ourselves in and through ongoing feminist struggle. Mohanty and Cartys dialogues with the contributors reveal crucial insights into building and theorizing multi-issue movements that rely on intersectional, anti-racist, transnational feminisms. The collaborative endeavor illuminates the persistent intellectual capaciousness and radical hope of these scholar-activists. The contributors complex engagements with feminist theory and praxis across geopolitical frameworks reaffirm coalitional possibilities so necessary in these turbulent times."-T. Jackie Cuevas, author of Post-Borderlandia""In Feminist Freedom Warriors liberation is historicized, imagined, and enacted as contested struggle and dialogue. The intellectual-activist thinkers within explain that feminist praxis—poetics, pedagogies, and activism—is an ongoing refusal of global capitalism and colonialism. Comprising stories and interviews, Feminist Freedom Warriors shows that engendering political change, across racial and sexual identifications, is tied to the uneasy work of imagining solidarities outside our present (neoliberal) system of knowledge. What stands out, beautifully and urgently, is the praxis of sharing how to refuse infrastructures of violence. Feminist Freedom Warriors captures how sharing and talking and learning, and the struggle to collaborate, is tied to the grounded work of building new futures." —Katherine McKittrick, Associate Professor, Department of Gender Studies, Queens University Promotional Authors speaking at womens studies conferencesReviews and excerpts in feminist magazinesSell the book on the project website, cross-promote with video project outreach Long Description Feminist Freedom Warriors tells the stories of women of color from the Global South, weaving together cross-generational histories of feminist activism across national borders.

That is a habit that most people have not been able to embrace because it is a habit that contravenes disciplinary thinking--in disciplinary thinking the framework is what enables everything else so once you begin challenging the framework everything falls apart. And feminism allows us to trouble the framework, allow things to fall apart and at the same time put them back together. It allows us to imagine something entirely different. Angela Y Davis (chapter 2)Feminism is at stake in how we generate knowled≥ in how we write, who we cite. I think of feminism as a building project: if our texts are worlds, they need to be made out of feminist materials. Feminist theory is world-making. This is why we need to resist positioning feminist theory as simply or only a tool, in the sense of something that can be used in theory, only then to be put down or put away. It should not be possible to do feminist theory without being a feminist, which requires an active ongoing commitment to live ones life in a feminist way. Sara Ahmed, Living a Feminist Life, 2017, p. 14This book is a labor of love and sisterhood. It grows out of and is anchored in an ongoing digital archive project called Feminist Freedom Warriors, begun in 2015 (feministfreedomwarriors.org). The digital archive project was born out of our engagement with anti-capitalist, anti-racist feminist struggles as women of color from the Global South. FFW is a project about cross-generational histories of feminist activism addressing economic, anti-racist, social justice, and anti-capitalist issues across national borders. These are stories of sister-comrades, many of whom we have worked and struggled with over the years, whose ideas, words, actions, and visions of economic and social justice continue to inspire us to stay the course. The book is a companion to the larger digital project, highlighting the stories and analytical frameworks of seven prominent feminist scholar activists Margo Okazawa-Rey, Angela Y Davis, Minnie Bruce Pratt, Himani Banerjee, Amina Mama, Aida Hernandez Castillo, and Zillah Eisenstein. Our conversations with these sister-comrades tell stories of politicization, of coming to consciousness and developing revolutionary, anti-capitalist feminist commitments. We believe these narratives are necessary at this historical moment as they help sustain radical struggles against neoliberal, transnational capital, carceral, national security driven nation-states, and the rise of racist, right wing, authoritarian regimes in the USA and around the world. The seven scholar-activists featured here speak about their different and similar place-based genealogies of political engagements in anti-capitalist, anti-racist, anti-imperialist, LGBT, womens liberation, and indigenous feminist movements in the USA, Canada, Mexico/Latin America, India, and the Asian and African diasporas. Individually, and collectively, these scholar-activists illustrate the deep and significant connections between the personal and the political, mapping their histories of coming of age within deeply oppressive, racist, colonialist, and hetero-patriarchal geopolitical contexts, and their journeys within social justice movements that anchor their analytic and theoretical frameworks and vision for economic justice. The stories are testament to Amina Mamas statement: "People are transformed within movements."
