- W4384433441 abstract "Editorial Introduction On Decolonial Feminisms:Engagement, Practice, and Action Leece Lee-Oliver (bio) and Xamuel Bañales (bio) This special issue of Feminist Formations, On Decolonial Feminisms: Engagement, Practice, and Action, brings together a contemporary, broad, and multivariate collection of decolonial feminist visions and expressions that build on critical knowledges, engage in social change, and offer pathways to forge futurities. The essays in the special issue elucidate current socio-political contexts locally, nationally, and around the planet, interrogate the entrenchments of structural inequities that bear their marks particularly on marginalized communities, and address current struggles for social change and liberation. The pieces demonstrate what decolonial feminist praxes look like in the imaginary and on the ground, in our lives, movements, and society. The issue has been carefully curated to explore a cosmos of feminist social justice modalities that vary in place, form, and expression, but share purpose in decolonization/decoloniality. The term decolonial has been central in critical conversations and spaces that have long trajectories in many parts of the planet, but particularly in the geographical area of the Americas or Turtle Island and Abya Ayala. In recent times, the term decolonial, and variants like decolonize and decoloniality, have gained increasing traction in academic spaces, activist movements, and social media. The visibility of these terms creates new opportunities to build upon the momentum of the times and explore decolonial feminist work today. In our commitment to this work, we are grounded in two scholarly frameworks as points of departure: (1) theories of coloniality/modernity emergent in Latin America that are used widely to examine coloniality of power through gender, heterosexualism, and racial formations; and (2) women of color feminisms in the United States that respond to the impact and simultaneity of oppressive systems through scholarship, coalition, and creative action. We embrace the contributions here as acts of decoloniality. That is, feminist praxes that: 1) identify, deconstruct, and transform ideologies of human difference, inferiority/superiority, subordination/domination between colonized peoples and colonizing nations; 2) recognize and make visible where, when, and how coloniality [End Page vii] suppresses the living universe as necessarily under the power, domination, and surveillance of colonizing and imperialist figures; and 3) recollect, reclaim, and re-authorize the truth, dignity, and epistemologies of all life forms, seen and unseen. One goal of On Decolonial Feminisms: Engagement, Practice, and Action is to amplify decolonial feminist actions that are situated in scholarly activism and social justice movements in—but not limited to—the United States. Since the United States occupies a crucial role in reproducing and maintaining coloniality, the special issue provides opportunities to see how decolonial feminists challenge critical power structures and create other possibilities. Another goal is to present abundant voices, heterogeneous movements, and theoretical inquiries that imagine life systems extricated from the legacies of colonialism, violence, and exclusion. Finally, we are grateful that the special issue can affirm and encourage readers to continue doing the difficult work of decolonial feminism in varying modes and multiple spaces. Given the present socio-political context that includes war, destruction, and so much hate, perhaps inspiration can lead to an expansion of generative collective horizons. We organized On Decolonial Feminisms: Engagement, Practice, and Action during an intensified time of resurging white supremacy, heteropatriarchy, and the coloniality of power. Complicated by the emergence of Covid-19, isolation and exposure to failing social systems inspired us to place attention on strategies that inspire hope and healing while providing insights for social change. In the midst of ongoing disrespect for liberation, we took note of increasing and unapologetic state violence and oppression, including: the persistence of femicide in North and South America, particularly of women, girls, and trans folk in Native American and Indigenous communities and families; anti-Blackness that sustains the vulnerability, invisibility, and precarity of Black people's lives; the sterilization, erasure, and hiding of emigrant women and girls of color incarcerated by ICE; rampant anti-Asian rhetoric, hate, and violence, evident in the Atlanta, Georgia spa shooting in 2021; and the push of politicians and others to limit, control, or discipline the bodies and subjectivities of people who are feminine, trans, queer, non-conforming, non-binary, non-normative, racialized, undocumented, living..." @default.
