“This is a timely intervention in women’s resistance from the Global South that maps the complex labyrinth of women’s opposition, agency, advocacy through various forms of art, literature, and activism. Removed from the 'strait-jacket' of organized resistance, it is a must-read for scholars, students, activists interested in women’s voices and actions from the South as they defy and negotiate with micro and macro political structures of power.”

"This powerful set of essays refuses conventional tropes of female agency in the liberal tradition; instead, the authors theorize a politics and poetics of “resistance” that is context-specific, place based and plural. The volume, which takes the reader to geographical spaces that are often marginalized in feminist analyses, is a welcome addition to the emerging field of decolonial feminist scholarship."
