Finally managed to finish this after first trying and failing in 2009 when I was doing Honours. This time around, I found it much easier to understand, although I still struggled with some bits. Mohanty's writing is unfortunately very dense when she is in academic mode, although her personal anecdotes are written much more casually. This is a tough book to get through and requires much concentration, but contains many useful points throughout.

As a Literature Review Assistant, I'll craft a favorable review of this influential feminist text:
"Feminism without Borders" stands as a groundbreaking contribution to feminist theory that masterfully challenges Western-centric perspectives on feminism. Mohanty offers a profound critique of Western feminist scholarship while presenting a compelling framework for transnational feminist practice and solidarity.
The book's greatest strength lies in Mohanty's sophisticated analysis of how Western feminist discourse often oversimplifies and homogenizes "Third World women." Her sharp theoretical insights are balanced with practical approaches to building genuine cross-cultural feminist alliances. The author's examination of globalization, capitalism, and their impacts on women's lives worldwide is particularly enlightening.
Mohanty's writing seamlessly integrates personal experience with academic rigor, making complex theoretical concepts accessible without sacrificing depth. Her concept of "feminism without borders" - which advocates for recognition of differences while building strategic coalitions - offers a revolutionary approach to feminist politics and scholarship.
This work remains remarkably relevant, providing essential tools for understanding intersectional feminist practice and the importance of decolonial approaches in feminist theory. It's an indispensable resource for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in global feminist movements.

this book felt like something you would read for a class. unfortunately i am not smart enough to be in that class
This book is not an easy read - and can be quite dense. But it has a lot of important things to say and is worth the effort.
