"Integrative Feminisms" presents a unique discussion of feminist radicalism in North America in the context of feminism's global development since the 1960s. Across divergent agendas, Angela Miles illuminates the transformative power she argues is common to apparently diverse radical, eco-, Black, socialist, lesbian and "third world" feminists. Drawing on interviews with activists, historical and documentary research, and her own participation, she provides powerful analysis of concentric feminisms in a transnational context.
The book shows how transformative practices have led these various feminisms in their own ways to refuse industrial/patriarchal categories, and how they have sustained their own projects against great odds. Skating the edge of controversy, Miles argues that the charges of political naivete, utopianism and essentialism levelled against these integrative feminisms are reductionist denials of the most progressive aspects of North American feminism, aspects central to the rapidly developing feminisms in the "third world." Within this original framework the author takes on the issues of pornography, prostitution, identity politics, postmodern feminism, and censorship, all of which continue to be hotly debated among feminists, the media and the courts.

Industry Reviews

"This book brings alive the creative politics of feminists around the world who are, together, shaping a new future." -Charlotte Bunch, Center for Women's Global Leadership "Angela Miles has written a book for the '90s, one that will make Americans talk of Quebec feminism, the UN and African women['s] health movements all in one breath--it's a tonic against parochialism." -Cynthia H. Enloe, Professor of Government, Clark University
