In this exciting, innovative work, Polish feminist philosopher Ewa Majewska maps the creation of feminist counterpublics around the world-spaces of protest and ideas, community and common struggle, that can challenge the emergence of fascist states as well as Western democratic "public spheres" populated by atomized, individual subjects. Drawing from Eastern Europe and the Global South, Majewska describes the mass labor movement of Poland' s Solidarnosc in 1980 and contemporary feminist movements across Poland and South America, arguing that it is outside of the West that we can see the most promising left futures. Majewska argues for the creation of a feminist public-a politics and a world held in common-and outlines the tactics this political goal demands, arguing for a feminist political theory that does not reproduce the same forms of domination it seeks to overcome.
"Ewa Majewska' s lucid and revolutionary statement is absolutely salutary. " --Sophie Lewis, author of Full Surrogacy Now "One of Poland' s most radical and intellectually adventurous feminists . . . Like Rosa Luxemburg before her, Majewska embraces failure as inherent to historical change and insists that despair is a luxury we cannot afford. " --Agata Lisiak, author of Urban Cultures in (Post)Colonial Central Europe "Majewska brilliantly shows that forms which one might consider marginal are in fact at the centre of a necessary redefinition of democracy. " --Catherine Malabou, author of The Future of Hegel "A significant contribution to some of the most important debates of our time. " --Helen Hester, author of Xenofeminism
