Abstract

The aim of this work is to shed light into some issues regarding the idea of a transnational decolonial feminism, especially in the version given by Chandra Mohanty. The main thesis that runs through this article can be summed up as follows: transnationalism, at least when linked to feminism, can’t be considered as a means to gather women because there’s no such thing as global solutions for local matters. Building a true supportive feminism, to the very contrary, implies to understand local issues per se. Such a task can’t be achieved without a post post-intersectional approach that takes borders seriously and doesn’t confuse solidarity with fusion
