"Under Western Eyes: Feminist Scholarship and Colonial Discourses"

In this particular reading Chandra Talapade Mohanty discusses Western feminism and the "third wave feminist." As most people assume, when thinking of colonization, we mostly refer to economic and policital issues and systems, but Mohanty takes a twist and is referring to the pracctices and teachings of Western Feminism and the effects. Mohanty's goal through out this reading is to critique Western Feminst scholars on there academic teachings and bring individuals to a new light of "feminsim." Many people have a set definition of "feminism" and Mohanty allows us to think in a more broad perspecitve. She mainly focuses on thinking out of the box in the "politcal" context without falling into the trap of false generalizations.
