Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall

challenging informative medium-paced

4.5

Kendall has a talent for very direct writing, and she succeeds at something I think a lot of authors don't, which is balancing data with personal anecdotes. The chapters were also short and very readable, which I appreciated as someone who was reading little bits at a time.

I’ve been listening to this on audio on my way to school and back for the last week. What an incredible book. SO informative and reflective— the amount of times I paused to think and absorb the information was astronomical. It’s important to note that this book isn’t just about feminism in the Black community. It’s about feminism (or lack thereof) within all marginalized communities (trans, unhoused, Latinx, underfunded, disabled, and more). This is a must read for everyone— especially those who call themselves allies but have yet to do any work!

(I listened to the audiobook version.)
There wery many observations, ideas, and suggestions in this book that I found helpful for my own mindset, even when they might not have been completely new to me. It is important to note that this book does require you to be familiar with feminism, otherwise it is not as accessible. This is due to the fact that Kendall directs her words mainly to white mainstream feminists. I think anyone who considers themself a feminist should look into the ideas of this work and reflect upon them.
