Always on my mind. Influencing my words, actions, and even my personal contradictions. Disproportionately, these are girls and womens lives, although I am committed to the lives of all exploited peoples. However, the specificity of girls and womens lives encompass the others through their particularized and contextualized experiences. If these particular gendered, classed, and racialized realities of globalization are unseen and undertheorized, even the most radical critiques of globalization effectively render Third World/South women and girls as absent. Perhaps it is no longer simply an issue of Western eyes, but rather how the West is inside and continually reconfigures globally, racially, and in terms of gender. Without this recognition, a necessary link between feminist scholarship/analytic frames and organizing/activist projects is impossible. Faulty and inadequate analytic frames engender ineffective political action and strategizing for political transformation. - Chandra Mohanty
