Are you ready to challenge the status quo and disrupt the narrative? Introducing "White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color," a groundbreaking book that exposes the insidious ways in which white feminism has perpetuated systems of white supremacy and patriarchy. With compelling historical accounts and critical cultural analysis, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the intersections of race and gender.
Step into a journey that spans from the dark days of slavery, when white women fought for the "ownership" of their slaves in court, to the contemporary workplace, where the divide between innocent white women and racialized women of color persists. Author Ruby Hamad fearlessly delves into powerful examples, including the viral BBQ Becky video and the lynchings of Mexicans in the American Southwest, to illustrate how this division has been created and is essential to confront.
Prepare to be gripped by the revelations in this eye-opening book! Unravel the secrets behind why white men seem untouched by the sexual assault of women, as explored through the courageous testimonies of women like Christine Blasey Ford. With unyielding rigor and precision, Hamad constructs a compelling argument about the pervasive legacy of white superiority that we've been socialized within. This is the reality we must confront if we want to dismantle oppressive systems.
What people are saying about "White Tears/Brown Scars" speaks volumes. A review by Rosa Boshier from The Washington Post hails the book as a stunning and thorough look at white womanhood, urging it to be required reading for those claiming to be intersectional feminists. Hamad's controlled urgency in presenting these bold ideas makes this an illuminating and poignant read. The question now is: Are you ready to listen?
