A proposito di questo titolo

 Bloomsbury presents Hood Feminism written and read by Mikki Kendall.

'It is absolutely brilliant, I think every woman should read it' PANDORA SYKES, THE HIGH LOW
‘My wish is that every white woman who calls herself a feminist will read this book in a state of hushed and humble respect ... Essential reading' ELIZABETH GILBERT

I'm a feminist. Mostly.
I'm an asshole. Mostly.

All too often the focus of mainstream feminism is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few.


Meeting basic needs is a feminist issue. Food insecurity, the living wage and access to education are feminist issues. The fight against racism, ableism and transmisogyny are all feminist issues.


White feminists often fail to see how race, class, sexual orientation and disability intersect with gender. How can feminists stand in solidarity as a movement when there is a distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others?


Insightful, incendiary and ultimately hopeful, Hood Feminism is both an irrefutable indictment of a movement in flux and also clear-eyed assessment of how to save it. Donne Scienze sociali Studi di genere Studi sulla femminilità

Recensioni della critica

Required reading for any feminist, Kendall explores why mainstream feminism neglects to see how race, class, sexual orientation and disability intersects with gender with a clear-eyed assessment of how to fix it
The American author’s never-more-timely collection tackles topics from gun violence to the way in which white women make feminism all about them
My wish is that every white woman who calls herself a feminist (as I do) will read this book in a state of hushed and humble respect ... It’s long overdue that we drop our defenses, listen to her arguments carefully, and then change our entire way of thinking and behaving ... Essential reading (Elizabeth Gilbert)
In Hood Feminism, author and activist Mikki Kendall looks at how feminism is neglecting marginalised communities, and what can be done to challenge and confront those inequalities from within the feminist movement
Poignant and page-turning ... Marks Kendall as an original addition to the black feminist canon
Blistering ... A fresh new and necessary Black voice in feminist literature
It is absolutely brilliant, I think every woman should read it. (Pandora Sykes)
A searing indictment of feminism, how to modernise it, and ultimately how to save it.
Compelling and timely ... A searing indictment of feminism, how to modernise it and ultimately, how to save it.
This is the feminist intervention we have all been waiting for. (Fatima Bhutto)
This book is an act of fierce love and advocacy, and it is urgently necessary (Samantha Irby)
Every white lady should have this book assigned to them before they can talk about feminism. (Linda Tirado)
Mikki’s book is a rousing call to action for today’s feminists. It should be required reading for everyone (Gabrielle Union)
Mikki Kendall tells it like it is, and this is why she has long been a must-read writer for me: incisive, clear-eyed, and rightly willing to challenge readers when necessary. Her exploration of how feminists’ fight for liberation has too often left poor people, Black people, Indigenous people, and other people of color behind is critical reading for anyone who is or wants to be involved in work addressing complex and longstanding inequalities (Nicole Chung)
Mikki has been writing for years about protection, "problem children", the limits and the usefulness of different kinds of anger, and the way sisterhood can be wielded as a demand. She’s here for her community, and this book has everything to do with expanding access to it (Daniel Mallory Ortberg)
Mikki Kendall has established herself as an important voice in current feminist discourse, and Hood Feminism cements that place. With a compelling, forceful piece, Kendall has written the missive that feminists - especially white feminists - need to remember the racist history of who we are as a movement and to move forward with an intersectional and deliberately anti-racist focus (Dianna Anderson)
