Francoise Verges

Waiting at Aime Cesaire International Airport, in the city of Lamentin, Martinique, Mayra A. Rodriguez Castro browses the bookshop. Alongside works by Cesaire, it offers titles by Frantz Fanon, Maryse Conde and Patrick Chamoiseau. She picks up Negre je suis, negre je resterai, an interview between Francoise Verges and Cesaire, and embarks. Another Sun revisits that initial interview, blending biographical experience and concise summaries of key figures in French anti-racist thought, marking their contemporary relevance. An eclectic, attentive, mobile conversation between Rodriguez Castro and Verges, shaped by ongoing struggles.

In the years since #MeToo, misogyny, sexism and gender based violence have flooded the news and our social media timelines. Anti-privilege politics and intersectionality have entered the mainstream—systematically trolled on one end of the spectrum; embraced, to questionable ends, on the other. But what has this increased visibility entailed, other than the marketisation of the feminist struggl? eminism for the World argues that we have been witnessing an erasure of feminism as a long-term tradition, with its many conflicting histories and geographies of struggle elided and forgotten. In this ground-breaking collection, eight leading international figures of contemporary feminism highlight feminist struggles and traditions from the Global South, presenting feminism as a project that is impossible without international solidarity from the West. In doing so they revive an authentic internationalism and propose paths for present and future generations.
