Decolonizing Feminisms: Race, Gender, and & Empire-Building

by Laura E. Donaldson

Donaldson presents new paradigms of interpretation that help to bring the often oppositional stances of First versus Third World and traditional versus postmodern feminism into a more constructive relationship. She situates contemporary theoretical debates about reading, writing, and the politics of identity within the context of historical colonialism--primarily under the English in the nineteenth century.

An excellent start if you're interested in learning postcolonial feminist literary criticism. This is not a light read but totally worth it.
