SOCIAL SCIENCES FOR AN OTHER POLITICS GEBUNDEN

This book opens up a unique intellectual space where eleven female scholar-activists explore
alternative forms of theorising social reality. These'Women on the Verge' demonstrate that a
new radical subject- one that is plural  prefigurative  decolonial  ethical  ecological 
communal and democratic- is in the making  but is unrecognisable with old analytical tools. Of
central concern to the book is the resistance of some social scientists  many of them critical
theorists  to learning about this radical subject and to interrogating the concepts 
methodologies and epistemologies used to grasp it. Echoing the experiential critique of
capitalist-colonial society that is taking place at the grassroots  the authors examine how to
create hope  decolonise critique and denaturalise society. They also address the various
dimensions of the social (re)production of life  including women in development  the commons 
and nature. Finally  they discuss the dynamics of prefiguration by social movements  critiquing
social movement theory in the process. This thought-provoking edited collection will appeal to
students and scholars of gender studies  social  Marxist and Feminist theory  postcolonial
studies and politics.
