Book excerpt: In the light of post-colonial and feminist critiques of experience and identity, how can feminists engage stories of marginalized peoples' experience in the development of feminist theories and modes of activism that take account of the diversity of women's situations? How can feminists use the powerful tools of storytelling in ways that do not essentialize or objectify marginalized women? Shari Stone-Mediatore brings together the theoretical perspectives of Hannah Arendt and post-colonial theory to develop a post positivist account of narrative which can form the basis for a progressive feminist politics.
