it rings so strongly of the recent videos of white women at the college encampments for Palestine crying and/or calling the cops claiming to be in danger.. ugh. c’mon y’all. literally prime example of white tears / damsel in distress.
the chapters on recent events and pop culture moments (BBQ Becky for example) were the most interesting for me

I thought the beginning was very strong, the discussion of archetypes and their history, the inclusion of modern and historical examples, and including the perspectives of different women.
I think the structure of the book might have been improved by having more chapters that were shorter. And some of the chapters did not seem as strong as others and some chapters could've been a bit tighter.
‘White’ is better understood as an indication of racial privilege: who is considered white is less about how pale they are (many Arabs have fair skin) and more about whether they are the right kind of pale. Whiteness is more than skin colour.
White women can oscillate between their gender and their race, between being the oppressed and the oppressor. Women of colour are never permitted to exist outside of these constraints: we are both women and people of colour and we are always seen and treated as such.

Hamad so eloquently put into words the struggles women of color have to deal with. She also provides historical evidence as to the inception of the racist caricatures created by white people and their racist behaviors towards people of color.

Since this book is about white feminism, rasism and sexism are central in this book.stephmcoakley's review against another edition
