It argues that in seeking to escape liberalism?s gendered and racialised governmentalities, Black women?s everyday self-making practices construct decolonising and feminising epistemologies of freedom. These, in turn, repeatedly interrogate the colonial logics of liberalism and Britishness. Genealogically structured, the book begins with the narratives of freedom and identity presented by Black British Caribbean women. It then analyses critical moments of crisis in British racial rule at home and abroad in which gender and Caribbean women figure as points of concern. Post-war Caribbean immigration to the UK, decolonisation of the British Caribbean and the post-emancipation reconstruction of the British Caribbean loom large in these considerations. In doing all of this, the author unravels the colonial legacies that continue to underwrite contemporary British multicultural anxieties. This thought-provoking work will appeal to students and scholars of social and cultural history, politics, feminism, race and postcoloniality. 410 0$aThinking Gender in Transnational Times 606 $aFeminist anthropology 606 $aSociology 606 $aEmigration and immigration 606 $aEthnicity 606 $aSelf 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) 606 $aSocial history 606 $aFeminist Anthropology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12050 606 $aGender Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000 606 $aMigration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X24000 606 $aEthnicity Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22180 606 $aSelf and Identity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20150 606 $aSocial History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000 615 0$aFeminist anthropology. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration. 615 0$aEthnicity. 615 0$aSelf. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology). 615 0$aSocial history. 615 14$aFeminist Anthropology. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aMigration. 615 24$aEthnicity Studies. 615 24$aSelf and Identity. 615 24$aSocial History. 676 $a300 700 $aNoble$b Denise$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01060898 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910165019503321 996 $aDecolonizing and Feminizing Freedom$92516249 997 $aUNINA
