White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color, by Ruby Hamad

5.0

How long it took me to read this is not a reflection on the book itself, but just my inability to maintain concentration with non-fiction. However, once I did get into it, I was suddenly absorbed - it felt so validating to read this book and hear my own experiences echoed back to me, but with explanations backed by history and research. I found White Tears/Brown Scars incredibly eye-opening, and would really recommend to other women of colour, as well as white women - Hamad clearly and comprehensively explains what we mean by white feminism, and why it is so damaging to us all.
