No Country Woman by Zoya Patel

Feminism has benefited enormously from an embrace of how colonialism and other forms of racism and capitalist economies interact. Patel's No Country Woman is a series of interconnected essays exploring her experiences with "hyphenated identities", migration, racism, animal rights and feminism - growing up from Fiji to Albury to Canberra. The collection provides a good understanding of Patel's experiences and perspectives. It has an inevitable twenty-something feel to the book - written by a woman just coming into a sense of identity, and I suspect it will find the most passionate readership in the same cohort.
