Feminism, Interrupted: Disrupting Power (Outspoken by Pluto)

Product Information

Questo, in modo forse più significativo, mi ha liberato dal desiderio di con formarmi alla realtà intorno a me; il femminismo mi ha permesso di essere ribelle, il tipo sbagliato di donna, diversa. Plastered over t-shirts and tote bags, the word ‘feminist’ has entered the mainstream and is fast becoming a popular slogan for our generation. But she makes up for it in optimism, looking ahead to a feminism that includes the experiences of all women. Cudownie rozprawia się też z liberalnym (mainstreamowym czy też konsumpcyjnym) feminizmem, pokazując, jak bardzo wyklucza on te grupy, które feminizmu najbardziej potrzebują i którym głos jest zabierany.

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. for me - i think it was a great read and very easy to get through (which is such a relief when reading about feminism lol). The book opens with an important historical overview of British feminist movements since the mid-1970s, prioritising the vital roles played by Black and South Asian women in many of the era’s vital struggles, and reasserting the revolutionary and fundamentally transformative aspects of those movements. Kendall exposes the yawning chasm between what constitutes mainstream feminist activism, and the urgent needs of women of colour. There will be no reverence here, no tiptoeing around mainstream feminism’s dreams, no grateful acceptance of a black space that is in the gift of white proprietors.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. Ostatnio takie wrażenie zrobiła na mnie bell hooks, jeżeli chodzi o zmuszanie mnie do myślenia i naprowadzanie mnie na nowe ścieżki skojarzeń. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Distinzione netta tra la "reproductive law" e la "reproductive justice": le leggi dovrebbero tutelare le donne e il loro corpo, ma allora perché non ne sono davvero padrone? These divides are also seen through the lens of voices often marginalized in mainstream, liberal feminism, with interesting cultural, historical and scholarly references abounding.

Including testimonials from Sisters Uncut, migrant groups working for reproductive justice, prison abolitionists and activists involved in the international fight for Kurdish and Palestinian rights, Olufemi emphasises the link between feminism and grassroots organising. She points to those middle-class feminists who make much of Muslim women as needing saving from a system of oppression that is “other”, without recognising that oppression is everywhere: in the UK, two women a week are killed by a partner or former partner. Feminism Interrupted is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration into a variety of issues such as racism, transphobia, Islamaphobia, sex work, consent, reproductive justice and more. Probabilmente servirebbe anche da queste parti un libro come quello di Olufemi, che traccia in modo metodico e appassionato i principali temi attuali del femminismo.I would have been bowled over if the chapter on food concentrated on food justice with inspiration from Vandana Shiva.

I would rather recommend it for people interested in Gender studies with scarce knowledge in this field.

Un esempio su tutti è la sua critica al femminismo mainstream e al fatto che le famose "ondate" hanno spesso rispecchiato le esigenze di donne bianche e borghesi, entrando nella cultura pop a discapito delle donne nere e "of colour" [intende le donne nere non afro-discendenti]. Purtroppo non esiste ancora una traduzione in italiano, ma data la fluidità della prosa e la brevità del saggio, io sono sicuro che possa essere fruibile anche da persone meno ferrate in inglese.Not only that, it has a great collection of further reading recommendations based on the topics discussed to help readers continue their journey of learning about these topics. They seek not to eject white women from the movement, of course, but to point out how those women, because of their platforms and access, bury the needs of others.
