The traditional narrative of globalization tells the tale of inexorable forces past the ability of people to mute or transcend. But this research tells a distinct tale, certainly one of social actors purposefully weaving cross-border relationships. From this vantage aspect, international social forces are usually not immaculately conceived. Instead, they're constituted through human actors with their very own pursuits and identities, positioned specifically social contexts. 


Making Transnational Feminism takes what a few have referred to as "global civil society" as its item, relocating past either dire predictions and euphoric celebrations to appreciate how transnational political relationships are built and sustained throughout social and geographical divides. It additionally presents a compelling case research to be used in complex undergraduate and graduate classes in globalization, gender stories, and social movements.
