Zusammenfassung:"Moving from travelogue to interviews to critical meditations, Living West as Feminists goes on the road to meet and interview U.S. western feminists, putting them into conversation with one another about some of the most challenging and forward-looking topics in contemporary life"
"In the aftermath of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Krista Comer invited fifteen colleagues into a conversation about feminism and the U.S. West. From her travels over some thirteen thousand miles to places chosen by participants comes a remarkable series of dialogues focusing on questions about the where of us-the places that we love or belong, or don't belong, and who we are in them.Living West as Feminists moves from travelogue to interviews to critical meditations. It asks who one's people are, to whom one feels accountable, and how we might make peace with the itinerant, often displaced lives of late-stage capitalist culture. Ultimately, the book understands feminism not as a specific politics or set of theories but as a network of relations. Its coalitional perspective allows for coming together even while distinguishing feminists who write from Black, Indigenous, queer, Chicanx, and materialist perspectives. Feminist rest areas, in which relational securities find footing, can create the most priceless resource in desperate times: well-being and political hope."
