Postcolonial feminism
Branch of feminism centered in non-Western cultures
Postcolonial feminism is a form of feminism that developed as a response to feminism focusing solely on the experiences of women in Western cultures and former colonies. Postcolonial feminism seeks to account for the way that racism and the long-lasting political, economic, and cultural effects of colonialism affect non-white, non-Western women in the postcolonial world.[1] Postcolonial feminism originated in the s as a critique of feminist theorists in developed countries pointing out the universalizing tendencies of mainstream feminist ideas and argues that women living in non-Western countries are misrepresented.[2]
Postcolonial feminism argues that by using the term "woman" as a universal group, women are then only defined by their gender and not by social class, race, ethnicity, or sexual preference.[3] Postcolonial feminists also work to incorporate the ideas of indigenous and other Third World feminist movements into mainstream Western feminism. Third World feminism stems from the idea that feminism in Third World countries is not imported from the First World, b

Som en av dem mest politiskt viktiga samt br&#;nnande omr&#;dena inom dagens feministiska undersökning och aktivism, problematiserar den postkoloniala feminismen olika sociala, kulturella samt artistiska fenomen som medel f&#;r epistemologisk, affektiv samt politisk avkolonisering.
Varför är icke-västerländska genusrörelser och kunskapstraditioner fortfarande okända i detta Globala Nord? Vilka frågor och agendor är viktigast för postkoloniala feminister samt urfolksfeminister samt aktivister? Hur skiljer dem sig från den samtida eurocentriska modernitetens postfeministiska klimat? Vilka är de primära brytpunkterna vilket gäller genus, sexualitet samt självidentifiering såsom modernitetens (både interna samt externa) andra genomgått? Hur möjliggöra för modernitetens mörka sida – dess utsuddade minnen, kunskaper och affekter – för att återkomma samt ta lokal in ett pluriversal värld? Dessa samt liknande frågor behandlas inom dekolonial feministisk forskning.

Postcolonial Feminisms
Why the non-Western gender movements and knowledges are still unknown in the global North? What are the main issues and agendas of the postcolonial and indigenous feminist thinkers and activists and how are they different from the euro-modern post-feminist climate? What are the main shifts in gender and sexual representations and (self)identifications that the internal and external others of modernity have undergone? How is it possible for the erased memories, knowledges and affects of the darker side of modernity to reemerge and reclaim their place in the pluriversal world? These and similar questions are addressed in decolonial feminist research.
Decolonial feminism critically analyses the power asymmetries, identifications, and stereotypes, as well as ways and strategies of resistance linked to the legacy of imperial-colonial relations, gender and sexual roles and hierarchies. It tackles the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, geopolitics and other aspects of inequality and discrimination both historically and in contemporary world. Rather than focusing on political decolonization, decolonial feminism problematizes the modern/col
