About this book
By placing the global and the intimate in near relation, sixteen essays by prominent feminist scholars and authors forge a distinctively feminist approach to questions of transnational relations, economic development, and intercultural exchange. This pairing enables personal modes of writing and engagement with globalization debates and forges a definition of justice keyed to the specificity of time, place, and feeling. Writing from multiple disciplinary and geographical perspectives, the contributors participate in a long-standing feminist tradition of upending spatial hierarchies and making theory out of the practices of everyday life.

Reviews
Sallie Marston, University of Arizona:
Balancing feminist theory's commitment to the everyday with a keen understanding of the structures that shape lives, The Global and the Intimate demonstrates how the site-specific material practices undertaken by embodied agents both connect with and affect other people and places across the globe. It is a richly textured book that merits a wide audience while inviting a reconsideration of hierarchies of space and scale and their relevance to feminist investigations.
