FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Powerful and provocative - Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, author of the Sunday Times bestselling How to be an AntiracistA MUST read for any white women who consider themselves "feminist" - Scarlett Curtis, author of the Sunday Times bestselling Feminists Dont Wear Pink An explosive and revelatory argument for deconstructing and confronting the entrenched notions of white supremacy and superiority that still reign today. - Mireille Harper How is it that we have been so conditioned to privilege the emotional comfort of white people?White tears possess a potency that is rarely acknowledged or commented upon, but they have long been used as a dangerous and insidious tool against people of colour, weaponised in order to invoke sympathy and divert blame. Taking us from the slave era, when white women fought in court to keep ownership of their slaves, through centuries of colonialism, when women offered a soft face for brutal tactics, to the modern workplace, in which tears serve as a defense to counter accusations of bias and micro-aggressions, White Tears/Brown Scars tells a charged story of white womens active participation in campaigns of oppression. It offers a long-overdue validation of the experiences of women of colour and an urgent call-to-arms in the need for true intersectionality.With rigour and precision, Hamad builds a powerful argument about the legacy of white superiority that we are socialised within, a reality that we must all apprehend in order to fight. Author Biography Ruby Hamad is a journalist, author, and academic. Her Guardian article "How White Women Use Strategic Tears to Silence Women of Colour" became a global flashpoint for discussions of white feminism and racism. She splits her time between Sydney and New York. Review What really makes this book excellent is that its focus is on the experience of women of colour...This is a curtain rising on the masses of women of colour who have individually suffered from the same system yet never before been told that their experience is universal, systemised, and wrong. * BadForm Review * Details ISBN1398703109 Author Ruby Hamad Language English Year 2021 ISBN-10 1398703109 ISBN-13 9781398703100 Format Paperback Publication Date 2021-10-21 UK Release Date 2021-10-21 Pages 304 Publisher Orion Publishing Co Imprint Trapeze Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2021-10-21 NZ Release Date 2021-10-21 Subtitle How White Feminism Betrays Women of Colour DEWEY 305.80082 Audience Tertiary & Higher Education We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
