Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption

By: Rafia Zakaria

4.32

Format: 256 pages, Hardcover

Upper-middle-class white women have long been heralded as “experts” on feminism. They have presided…

"Trickle-down feminism, everyone assumed, would miraculously fast forward the realization of a gender-equal, free market world created in the self image of America."

-Rafia Zakaria, Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption

"White and western women are seen as participants in complex modern societies. Their problems cannot be solved with a single, neat gift. Women of color are imagined as existing in a much simpler world, held back from success by very basic issues that have very basic solutions."

-Rafia Zakaria, Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption

"But American journalists, female journalists in particular, created a narrative for the war on terror that reaffirmed it as one fought by a feminist America, against anti-feminist, primitive, patriarchial and pre-modern countries that were too apathetic or too weak or too traitorous to fight terror in their homelands themselves."

-Rafia Zakaria, Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption

"Capitalist forces have looked to depoliticize as many spheres as possible. To create a feminist politics of solidarity, women have to recognize the forces that push them apart and push them into meaningless competition, by keeping them from collective understanding and engagement. Individuality within the capitalist framework is an antidote to politics and solidarity."
