White Tears / Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color
by Ruby Hamad
Description
A powerful examination of how mainstream feminism has too often centered white women while marginalizing, appropriating, or exploiting women of color. Drawing on history, media, politics, and personal experience, the book traces the deep roots of white feminism and its role in reproducing racial hierarchies, from colonialism to the present day. It challenges readers to confront the ways solidarity can become conditional and asks what a truly intersectional feminist movement would require. Provocative and incisive, the work offers both a critique of entrenched power structures and a call for more honest, inclusive forms of resistance.
