A Decolonial Feminism Paperback / softback
by Francoise Verges
Paperback / softback
Description
***Winner of an English PEN Award 2021***'A vibrant and compelling framework for feminism in our times' - Judith ButlerFor too long feminism has been co-opted by the forces they seek to dismantle.
In this powerful manifesto, Francoise Verges argues that feminists should no longer be accomplices of capitalism, racism, colonialism and imperialism: it is time to fight the system that created the boss, built the prisons and polices women’s bodies. A Decolonial Feminism grapples with the central issues in feminist debates today: from Eurocentrism and whiteness, to power, inclusion and exclusion.
Delving into feminist and anti-racist histories, Verges also assesses contemporary activism, movements and struggles, including #MeToo and the Women's Strike. Centring anticolonialism and anti-racism within an intersectional Marxist feminism, the book puts forward an urgent demand to free ourselves from the capitalist, imperialist forces that oppress us.
