Synopsis This issue feminist studies offers two distinct clusters of work on middle eastern women. But also discusses themes that cross these regional divides and extend divides and extend to China and Latin America as well. These shared concerns include the ways that history and national politics shape constrain, distort and nurture feminist politics the intersections of memoir and biography with large cultural and social developments and the role of the visual arts in expressing framing and furthering radical visions. Several authors trace the complicated trajectory of radical revolutionary and feminist visions and politics within and across national and personal histories. The art and poetry included here also speak forcefully to the complex interplay among culture, politics, history and memory.
