In Dissonant Intimacies Srila Roy reflects on the limits and possibilities of a global decolonial feminist agenda in the Global South. Her highly personal work explores recent interventions into higher education that seek to produce new forms of knowledge and solidarity across gender, race, caste and location/borders.

Drawing on her experience as a South Asian scholar in South Africa, Roy has found the practice of transnational feminism difficult, even fraught, when faced with movements such as South Africaâs Fees Must Fall, Indiaâs #MeToo and resistance to the genocide in Palestine. The Global South emerges as a space of dissonance in spite of her pursuit of South-South collaboration and alternative scholarly engagements based on feminist and decolonial pedagogies.

In charting these tensions, Roy reminds us that the Global South is not one thing. She raises the stakes for decolonial feminist knowledge production and transnational solidarity while stressing the importance of building new epistemic infrastructures that orient us towards the South.
