Beyond the Universal Woman: A Decolonial Critique of Feminist Reason

$24.99

A decolonial critique of feminist theory that challenges the universal, eurocentric Western subject long placed at the center of mainstream feminist thought. Yuderkys Espinosa-Miñoso traces how this figure — white, propertied, and coded as the default "woman" of feminist theory — has erased the experiences of Indigenous, Black, and colonized women across Abya Yala.

This English edition expands on the Spanish original, La Crítica a la Razón Feminista (prologue by Mayra Santos-Febres), with new and previously unpublished essays not included in that edition, alongside a full new section absent from the Spanish text.
