Globalization, power and resistance: Postcolonial and transnational feminist perspectives for social work practice

Abstract

Postcolonial and transnational feminist perspectives on globalization, power and resistance can transform our approach to human rights and development in international social work. This analysis of globalization as historical, gendered and complicated by cross-cutting power dynamics from the personal to the national to the global allows a nuanced approach that is in solidarity with the perspectives of stakeholders in the global South and marginalized populations in the global North.
