Closer to Liberation: Pin[a/x]y Activism in Theory and Practice is an edited volume that showcases contributions from activists, scholars, artists and cultural producers, and community members that identify with the type of intersectional feminist theory and practice that emerge from the specific lived experiences and histories of Filipina/x immigrant communities in the United States.
While revisiting the “Pinayism” framework as articulated most visibly by Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales and Melinda de Jesús almost two decades ago, this project also explores the development of new models of solidarity, organizing, and intersectional feminism in this current historical moment. The text traces the continuations and divergences from the original moment of Pin[a/x]yism’s emergence to the waves of activism, protest, and coalition building happening now.
Pin[a/x]y Activism in Theory and Practice is a multimodal archive that captures the dynamic and powerful nature of Pinay activism and praxis.
