Description: Decolonizing Universalism : A Transnational Feminist Ethic, Paperback by Khader, Serene J., ISBN 0190664207, ISBN-13 9780190664206, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US Decolonizing Universalism argues that feminism can respect cultural and religious differences and acknowledge the legacy of imperialism without surrendering its core ethical commitments. Transcending relativism/ universalism debates that reduce feminism to a Western notion, Serene J. Khader
proposes a feminist vision that is sensitive to postcolonial and antiracist concerns. Khader criticizes the false universalism of what she calls Enlightenment liberalism, a worldview according to which the West is the one true exemplar of gender justice and moral progress is best achieved through
economic independence and the abandonment of tradition. She argues that anti-imperialist feminists must rediscover the normative core of feminism and rethink the role of moral ideals in transnational feminist praxis. What emerges is a nonideal universalism that rejects missionary feminisms that
treat Western intervention and the spread of Enlightenment liberalism as the path to global gender injustice.
Th draws on evidence from transnational womens movements and development practice in addition to arguments from political philosophy and postcolonial and decolonial theory, offering a rich moral vision for twenty-first century feminism.
