Book Introduction

Decolonizing Feminist Economics: Possibilities for Just Futures explores how postcolonial and decolonial critiques challenge the Western-centric foundations of feminist economics. The book addresses the intersections of colonialism, capitalism, heteropatriarchy, and ecological degradation, offering critical tools for imagining transformative alternatives. Through engagement with global struggles, it unveils our hijacked present and envisions the emergence of decolonizing feminist economic landscapes.

Transdisciplinary and innovative, it fills a crucial gap by exploring the synergy between decolonization and feminist economics — challenging growth logic, capitalism, and Eurocentrism, while opening space for just futures.https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/decolonizing-feminist-economics
