Against White Feminism
Against White Feminism
Zakaria, Rafia
Here is an essential, comprehensive account of what white feminism is - and an empowering manifesto for revolution. Feminism is supposed to be the fight for the freedom and equality of women. And in the past 200 years it has made incredible gains: paving the way for women to advance economically, handing them back control of their own bodies, and advocating for their needs and their experiences. Eye-opening, timely and impossible to ignore, 'Against White Feminism' traces the connections between feminism and white supremacy from the earliest stirrings of the women's suffrage movement to the 'fourth wave' we see today, demonstrating how an idea based on equality has been corrupted by prejudice and exploitation from the start.
