Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption

"A white feminist is anyone who refuses to see how whiteness and the racial privilege attached to it have universalized white feminist concerns, agendas and beliefs as applicable to all feminists. Women of color — especially in non-Western countries — are only included in this movement when they conform to values in service of white supremacy and capitalism. Rafia Zakaria’s case for why such feminism must be dismantled is built on well-researched evidence of systemic racism perpetuated over centuries in our cultures, institutions, socio-political movements and everyday behaviors. She threads three key change propositions throughout for women of color: reshaping the feminist narrative, honoring our own genealogies, and enhancing solidarity through community."
