Routledge Activist Scholarship - Antiracism and Feminism Book

Activist Scholarship: Antiracism, Feminism, and Social Change offers a deep look into how scholars can build knowledge that supports local and global resistance. This book addresses the connection between the academy and communities fighting against U.S. imperialism, racial and gender oppression, and the economic violence of capitalist globalization. Instead of following traditional models of academic radicalism that stay separate from grassroots movements, this work suggests a new path for feminist and antiracist studies. It examines the relationship between academic institutions and social movements, treating them as interlinked sites of struggle. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, the authors provide a framework for scholars to engage directly with the communities they study. This text is an essential resource for those studying transnational feminist studies and social change. It challenges researchers to create pedagogies that are accountable to the people working on the front lines of social justice. It is a vital addition to any library focused on sociology, anthropology, and the intersection of academic research and community activism.
