Feminism, Interrupted: Disrupting Power (Outspoken by Pluto)

Product Information

Plastered over t-shirts and tote bags, the word 'feminist' has entered the mainstream and is fast becoming a popular slogan for our generation. a lot of attention is often placed on changing policy to legalise abortion, but that doesn't always lead to 'reproductive justice' for all women. Dari kutipan itu saja, Lola Olufemi sebagai penulis mengingatkan bahwa masih banyak anggapan tentang feminis yang dibentuk oleh kulit putih. I don’t see how it’s not contradictory to advocate for dismantling oppressive systems and then promote Marxist theory in the exact same breath, but whatever.

What I also really liked about Lola Olufemi's work is it's grounding in the British experiences of women (particularly Black women) and facts relating to Britain. An incisive work of Black feminism in Britain covering reproductive justice, trans inclusionary feminism, supporting sex workers, prison abolition, and—excitingly—art as witness. Ostatnio takie wrażenie zrobiła na mnie bell hooks, jeżeli chodzi o zmuszanie mnie do myślenia i naprowadzanie mnie na nowe ścieżki skojarzeń.

This has strengthened my politics and made me feel hopeful for the future, something that is much needed right now. Sono appena 170 pagine, ma sembrano di più (e lo dico in senso super positivo) per il numero di argomenti trattati e la chiarezza con cui vengono espressi. olufemi uses ireland as a case study; they recently legalised abortion via a referendum, but many of the same restrictions remain, especially for migrants and women of colour. This revolutionary book reclaims feminism from consumerism through exploring state violence against women, reproductive justice, transmisogyny, sex work, gendered Islamophobia and much more, showing that the struggle for gendered liberation is a struggle for justice, one that can transform the world for everybody.

Oczywiście jest też bibliografia, więc można tę książkę potraktować jako wstęp do dogłębniejszych studiów i przemyśleń w tematach feminizmu. She is the co-author of A FLY Girl's Guide to University: Being a Woman of Colour at Cambridge and Other Institutions of Power and Elitism (Verve Poetry Press, 2019). Kendall exposes the yawning chasm between what constitutes mainstream feminist activism, and the urgent needs of women of colour. Neither does she offer any clear ideas or thought about how women might work together to grapple with the indisputable horrors of embedded and intersecting sexism, racism and inequality in the UK.She exposes the yawning chasm between what constitutes mainstream feminist activism and the urgent needs of women of colour in maternity wards, single-mother households, abusive homes, hungry families – and those of disfranchised trans people and sex workers. Lola Olufemi, Jade Bentil and Gail Lewis discuss black feminism and other themes from the new book, ‘Feminism, Interrupted’.

She is at her strongest and most refreshing when rejecting the fetishisation of black women for being strong or fierce or the embodiment of “ black girl magic”.

dal testo: "Le persone si attaccano parecchio alla domanda “Beh, vorresti che tua figlia lo facesse [il sex working]? Running through Kendall’s work is the notion that “ solidarity is for white women”, the name of a campaign she started in 2013. All in all, this a welcome and powerful interjection in current debates, an excellent introduction to contemporary issues in feminist theory and practice and therefore valuable both to those new to the field and to those of us who may have been around for a while.Kendall cites as an example the fact that concern about rape culture in the US focuses on the date rape of suburban teens, and not the much higher rate of sexual assault faced by, for instance, indigenous and Alaskan women. Her writing is clear and focused and she provides a comprehensive bibliography for those wanting to learn more. I found the chapters on reproductive justice, sex work, and transmisogyny to be most interesting because they haven’t been covered as much in the other feminist texts I’ve read.
