In light of postcolonial and feminist critiques of 'experience' and
'identity', how can feminists engage stories of marginalized peoples'
experience in the development of feminist theories and modes of activism
that take account of the diversity of women's situations? How can
feminists use the powerful tools of storytelling in ways that do not
essentialize or objectify marginalized women? Shari Stone-Mediatore
brings together the theoretical perspectives of Hannah Arendt and
postcolonial theory to develop a 'post-positivist' account of narrative
which can form the basis for a progressive feminist politics.
