In a moment marked by transnational gender, climate, and health crises, the question of how to build feminist solidarities across borders has never been more urgent. This book amplifies the rich genealogies and ongoing conversations that shape transnational feminist rhetorical studies (TFR), asking what solidarity can mean and do under contemporary global conditions. With case studies ranging from Africa, South Asia, China, Latin America, and Australia, among others, this collection theorizes the three interdisciplinary terms that define the subfield—transnational, feminist, and rhetorical—in order to reimagine the affordances and limitations of TFR for solidarity-building. From Ghanaian bead practices, to testimonio as an embodied Latinx methodology, and protests against Chinese COVID-Zero policies, the volume features a wide range of essays to make visible the stories, histories, and embodied experiences of activists organizing across transnational feminist networks.
