“Our Intention is to Disrupt the Empire:” Revolutionary Jewish Women and Feminist Anti-Zionism

Thu, Nov 14, 1:00 to 2:15pm, Hilton Union Square, Floor: Ballroom Level, Franciscan B (LCD)

Abstract

This paper draws on memoirs, archival research, and oral history to reframe the relationship between feminist identity politics, anti-imperialism, and Zionism. Tracing the cultural production, activism, social locations, and life-journeys of leftist feminists Diana Block, Margaret Randall, Susan Rosenberg, and Laura Whitehorn--as well as their comrades in social movement networks--the author considers their prefiguration of contemporary feminist and queer Jewish anti-Zionism as it emerged from the interactive spaces of feminism, radical internationalism, and revolutionary anticolonial movements from the late 1960s through the 1990s.
