To illustrate the corporate search for new population and geographic frontiers, the concluding chapter traces the Nike Foundation’s movement away from the perceived limitations of traditional development channels and into Silicon Valley’s world of fast capital and market-driven enterprise through the Girl Effect Accelerator. It reveals the expansionary tendencies of corporatized development, as third world girls are promoted as a potential billion-dollar market and, thus, a valuable new capitalist frontier. The chapter then analyzes how and why Nike Inc. decided to end its investment in the Girl Effect. The conclusion ends by analyzing the phenomenon of corporatized development in light of emergent trends within transnational feminism.

The Past

Stemming from Grosfoguel’s decolonial discourse, and particularly his enquiry on how to steer away from the alternative between Eurocentric universalism and third world fundamentalism in the production of knowledge, this article aims to respond to this query in relation to the field of the art produced by Latin American women artists in the past four decades. It does so by investigating the decolonial approach advanced by third world feminism (particularly scholar Chandra Talpade Mohanty) and by rescuing it from—what I reckon to be—a methodological impasse. It proposes to resolve such an issue by reclaiming transnational feminism as a way out from what I see as a fundamentalist and essentialist tactic. Following from a theoretically and methodological introduction, this essay analyzes the practice of Cuban-born artist Marta María Pérez Bravo, specifically looking at the photographic series Para Concebir (1985–1986); it proposes a decolonial reading of her work, which merges third world feminism’s nation-based approach with a transnational outlook, hence giving justice to the migration of goods, ideas, and people that Ella Shohat sees as deeply characterizing the contemporary cultural background. Finally, this article claims that Pérez Bravo’s oeuvre offers the visual articulation of a decolonial strategy, concurrently combining global with local concerns.

AbstractThis article explores five stages of the development of feminist theology as a public theology. Starting with feminist theology in liberal Protestant seminaries in the US, it shows its development as multi-ethnic theology, then as international theology, including the third world, then as an interfaith theology and finally through transnational feminism. The article concludes with some suggestions about new horizons for feminist theology as a public theology in 2009.

Using the role of an immigrant researcher in her country of origin, ShahnazKhan uses her feminist lens to explore dualities, decontextualization, andstereotypes of third-world women, more specifically Muslim women, whileexamining the contested issue of the ZinaOrdinance and itsmultifaceted consequencesfor women in Pakistan. Juxtaposing her feminist analysis withinthe context of transnational feminism, the author examines the tensions surroundingthis ordinance by questioning three intersecting contexts, namely, culture, politics, and religion. Pointing out such issues as corruption, maleviolence, poverty, and drug and alcohol abuse, Khan argues that the ordinanceallows families, in collaboration with the state, to regulate women’ssexuality. She reminds her readers that women charged with adultery and fornicationby the state are not victims, as they resist their incarceration in multipleways. Ironically, the prisons as well as the state-sponsored sheltersbecome safer spaces for women to flee the wrath of their families ...

International Women's Year

This chapter examines how the processes of translation spilled out during the International Women's Year (IWY) conference held in Mexico City in 1975. More specifically, it explains how the IWY fostered the creation of a new language of transnational feminism. It also considers three interrelated elements that played particularly critical roles in the unfolding history of the conference: how the conference came to be imagined as an event; the role of temporality in structuring that imagination; and how questions of representation and identification informed participants' conduct. The chapter highlights a key moment in the conference: the confrontation between North American feminism and Third World feminine Leftism, represented by Betty Friedan and Domitila Barrios de Chungara, respectively. It argues that the conference was not only a struggle for power and unity but also a struggle between globally gathered feminists for commensurability itself.
