Gender Epistemologies and Eurasian Borderlands

Gender Epistemologies and Eurasian Borderlands

M. Tlostanova, 2010

Overview

This work investigates the development of feminist thought in Central Asia and the Caucasus following the dissolution of the USSR. It argues that the specific forms feminism takes in these regions resist categorization by Western feminist theory or woman of color feminism. Consequently, a distinct "Eurasian borderland feminism" is proposed, charting a unique theoretical path.
