Feminism, Interrupted: Disrupting Power (Outspoken by Pluto)

Product Information

Olufemi takes her feminism so seriously that sometimes it compromises her authorial tone, rendering it drily determined; her work sometimes reads like a military pamphlet. Ci ho guardato dentro e ho trovato intellettuali e attivisti in conflitto, tutte a dire la propria su come dovrebbero andare le cose. The abortion referendum in Ireland, for example, leaned heavily on the cases of two women of colour, but there is little mobilisation for the rest of the maternal experience of women of colour. Un esempio su tutti è la sua critica al femminismo mainstream e al fatto che le famose "ondate" hanno spesso rispecchiato le esigenze di donne bianche e borghesi, entrando nella cultura pop a discapito delle donne nere e "of colour" [intende le donne nere non afro-discendenti].

Melalui feminisme, seharusnya kita dapat melihat gender dan jenis kelamin sebagai sesuatu yang fluid.They are everyday people, navigating treacherous territory and often taking risks with no safety net. She appears didactic, naive and arrogant in her dismissal of years of activism thinking and hard work by many people. All in all, this a welcome and powerful interjection in current debates, an excellent introduction to contemporary issues in feminist theory and practice and therefore valuable both to those new to the field and to those of us who may have been around for a while. Oh dear what a disappointing book after all those 5* reviews, it is in no way as incisive and thoughtful as seemed to be promised. Cudownie rozprawia się też z liberalnym (mainstreamowym czy też konsumpcyjnym) feminizmem, pokazując, jak bardzo wyklucza on te grupy, które feminizmu najbardziej potrzebują i którym głos jest zabierany.

Lola Olufemi, Jade Bentil and Gail Lewis discuss black feminism and other themes from the new book, ‘Feminism, Interrupted’. Olufemi explores state violence against women, the fight for reproductive justice, transmisogyny, gendered Islamophobia and solidarity with global struggles, showing that the fight for gendered liberation can change the world for everybody when we refuse to think of it solely as women's work. Ini karena adanya bias pendapat yang mana Sandberg merupakan wanita kulit putih dengan jabatan tinggi sehingga bukan sebuah kesulitan bagianya untuk "Lean In. Ostatnio takie wrażenie zrobiła na mnie bell hooks, jeżeli chodzi o zmuszanie mnie do myślenia i naprowadzanie mnie na nowe ścieżki skojarzeń. From the start, the author is forthright about her purpose and role – she is the sort of feminist who is here to unsettle.Reclaiming feminism from the clutches of the consumerist, neoliberal model, Feminism, Interrupted shows that when 'feminist' is more than a label, it holds the potential for radical transformative work. There will be no reverence here, no tiptoeing around mainstream feminism’s dreams, no grateful acceptance of a black space that is in the gift of white proprietors.

Olafumi pun ingin mengajak pembaca untuk memahami kalau feminisme itu sejatinya membebaskan dari apa yang selama ini membelenggu kita dalam batasan: gender dan jenis kelamin. olufemi covers a lot of interesting topics in a short space, touching on race and intersectionality, islamophobia and transmisogyny in less than 150 pages.But she makes up for it in optimism, looking ahead to a feminism that includes the experiences of all women. Olufemi considers many different facets of feminism including reproductive justice, art, incarceration, solidarity and more.
