Document Summary

Gws 10 postcolonial studies and transnational feminist practices grewal and. The history of modern imperialism bears directly upon the condition of women and relations of gendered power in the modern period. Colonial discourse analysis: the focus on gender and travel in order to study the relations between women from different cultures and nations rather than focus solely on the relations between women and men. Looking at travel as a leisure activity helps examine all the other forms of movement and displacement in the modern world such as immigration, forced removals, diasporas, refugee asylum, as well as travel for educational or corporate needs. Inequalities of class, gender, nationality, sexuality, and ethnicity are created through movements over time and space in particular ways. The authors wanted to participate in the study of race not only in terms of civil rights practices and identity politics but also as a form of discourses with concrete effects within the history of imperialism.
