Postcolonial and Postsocialist Dialogues delves into the intricate interplay between postcolonial and postsocialist feminist theorizing and practice, exploring the potential resonances and dissonances between these two frameworks. While postcolonial and postsocialist perspectives have been extensively studied in feminist discourse, they often remain separate analytical domains. This volume aims to bridge the gap between these two perspectives, examining how they intersect and correlate in feminist experiences, identities, and struggles.

In the three sections that delve into the intersections, opacities, and challenges between postcolonialism and postsocialism, the authors critically interrogate the meanings of these two discourses for feminist scholarship and activism. The contributions address the emergence of new political and cultural formations, as well as the intricate circuits of bodies and capital in the post-Cold War and postcolonial era, particularly in the context of re-emerging neo-colonial and imperial conflicts. They engage with a wide range of issues, including gender, sexuality, race, migration, diasporas, indigeneity, and disability, while also developing innovative analytical tools such as postsocialist precarity, queer postsocialist coloniality, uneventful feminism, feminist opacity, and feminist queer crip epistemologies.

This collection will be of immense interest to postcolonial and postsocialist researchers, students of gender studies, feminist activists, and scholars alike. It offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of power, resistance, and transformation in the postcolonial and postsocialist contexts, and contributes to the ongoing development of feminist theory and practice.
