Colonize This!: Young Women of Color on Today's Feminism by Daisy Hernández, Bushra Rehman

5.0



As a white feminist, I found this anthology particularly revelatory in the ways that it speaks to WOC experience in white-dominated feminist communities. Many of the authors focus on dual experiences with family and/or country of origin and mostly white US women's studies departments. This collection uses personal narrative to communicate the political realities of these experiences and hold white women accountable, while also providing something WOC of diverse backgrounds can relate to. Strong themes include motherhood, immigrant experience, and WOC feminism.
