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

5.0

This was such a good read! It’s a must read for anyone who considered themself a feminist in any sense of the word. The book of essays is split into four distinct sections on community, mothers/daughters, transformations, and standing up for oneself. Each essay details how Western feminism (read white feminism) fails women of color all too often. How white feminism leaves so many people out despite the fact that true feminism should be about bringing people in. While all sections were beautiful, I was most compelled by the essays in the last section, with my favorites being those by Darice Jones, Pandora Leong, Sirena Riley, and shani jamila.
4.5/5⭐️
