This issue, edited by English professor Pushpa Naidu Parekh, Spelman College, explores the intersectionality of gender, disability and postcoloniality using the methods and tools of critical race theory, transnational feminism, visual and performative media, cyberculture, queer/transgender analysis, as well as film, environmental and global studies. In addition, this issue features articles exploring disability as a cultural construct, human rights discourse, as well as a “development” agenda, in relation to postcolonial contexts, issues and theories.
