The Other #MeToos by Iqra Shagufta Cheema
From Asia to Africa to the Middle East, #MeToo has inspired local movements and hashtag trends like #AnaKaman and transnational collective hashtags like #MosqueMeToo. Yet, most Western scholarly and popular treatment of the movement assumes it is a primarily Western phenomenon. To attend to the revolutionary international impact of #MeToo, Iqra Shagufta Cheema brings together contributions from scholars and scholar activists that look at specific iterations of the #MeToo movement across multiple communities, cultures, and countries in the Global South. Going beyond gender, this comprehensive study focuses on the intersectional assemblage of ethnicity, religion, race, class, and politics that informs #MeToo and its place in local and transnational feminisms. By doing so, The Other #MeToos highlights the adaptation, translation, and impact of #MeToo in non-Western, postcolonial, minoritized, and othered locales to explore its wider scope and possibilities.
The revolutionary promise of #MeToo requires we hear about other #MeToos from across the globeThis book fulfills that promise. It teaches us that to bring an end to gender-based violence, we need to create more expansive feminist publics, to find new ways of mobilizing and connecting across time and space. This is a necessary, important, and far-reaching volume. * Sara Ahmed, author of Complaint! *
The Other #MeToos is an original contribution both to the field of gender and women's studies, as well as to the scholarship on #MeToo. It takes seriously the critiques offered by transnational and postcolonial feminist theory to make visible how patriarchy is global but at the same time racialized. Taking-up the feminist challenge of connecting theory and praxis as a point of departure, its rich collection of theoretical and diverse empirical approaches makes it relevant to theorists, analysts, and practitioners. * Rirhandu Mageza-Barthel, Professor in Peace and Development Studies, University of South Africa *
An ambitious, refreshing, and original contribution. We have long been waiting for such a valuable teaching, research, and activist resource. Despite occasional essays and media pieces on #MeToo in various other contexts, a comprehensive insight into its links to broader sexual violence activism and feminist thought and organizing has been missing. This book fills that gap. * Swati Parashar, Professor in Peace and Development, University of Gothenburg *
