White Tears / Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color by Ruby Hamad
challenging
emotional
informative
medium-paced
4.5
Adult
Nonfiction
Sociology
“Called “powerful and provocative” by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, this explosive book of history and cultural criticism reveals how white feminism has been used as a weapon of white supremacy and patriarchy deployed against Black and Indigenous women, and women of color.“
I’m trying to be much more intentional with my reading this year and White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo has been on my tbr list for too long but I also wanted something from a bipoc perspective. My local library had this title so I borrowed both, but could only find White Fragility as an audiobook so I listened to it first, and I’m glad I did, since it was a quicker read and is mentioned many times in this book.
White Tears/Brown Scars greatly expands upon and adds to the topics mentioned in White Fragility, adding comparisons to popular dystopian fiction and real world history around the world but ultimately focuses on how white tears & white feminism betray women of color and gives many examples and details how.
I highly recommend!
