In a series of trenchant analyses of Puerto Rican writers, as well as Dangarembga, Erdrich, and Tawil, the author makes the case for “extimate subjectivities” as a key to the interventions of postcolonial feminism. It is a fascinating account of radical possibility in contemporary postcolonial feminist writing. -- Peter Hitchcock, Professor of English, The Graduate Center, City University of New York\u003cbr\u003eThis is a hands-on, eloquent, and refreshingly honest kind of criticism, rooted in feminism while drawn to community organizing and its battle with the neoliberal “feminization of poverty.” Unimpressed by the anodyne formulas of “cosmo-theory,” Khader takes us through a series of superb close-readings from the intimacy of the domestic to the ex-timacy of the political, giving us along the way one of the best defenses anywhere of internationalism as an ethos, an aesthetic, and a politics. A new kind of theory and maybe (hopefully) its future. -- Timothy Brennan, University of Minnesota\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: The Poetics and Politics of Displacing: The Extimate Locations of Postcolonial Feminisms Chapter One: “The Meaning of So Many Roads”: Geography, Circular Migrancy, and Decolonizing the Commonwealth in Puerto Rican Feminist Writings Chapter Two: “None of the Women are at Home”: Culture, Unhomeliness, and The Politics of Expansion in Tsitsi Dangarembga’s Nervous Conditions Chapter Three: “Escaping the Claustrophobia of Belonging”: Identity, Transracial Ontology, and Rewriting the Columbus Quincentenary in Louise Erdrich’s Fiction Chapter Four: \"We Palestinians are the Jews of the Arab World\": The Politics of Solidarity, the Ethics of Otherness, and Anti-Colonial Internationalism in Raymonda Tawil’s My Home, My Prison\t\t Conclusion: Did Anyone Say Revolution?
