"Taking us from the slave era, when white women fought in court to keep "ownership" of their slaves, through the centuries of colonialism, when they offered a soft face for brutal tactics, to the modern workplace, White Tears/Brown Scars tells a charged story of white women's active participation in campaigns of oppression. It offers a long overdue validation of the experiences of women of color."-- "This explosive book of history and cultural criticism argues that white feminism has been a weapon of white supremacy and patriarchy deployed against black and indigenous women and all colonized women. It offers a long-overdue validation of the experiences of women of color. Taking us from the slave era--when white women fought in court to keep 'ownership' of their slaves--through the centuries of colonialism--when they offered a soft face for brutal tactics-- to the modern workplace, White Tears/Brown Scars tells the story of white women's active participation in campaigns of oppression. Examining subjects as varied as The Hunger Games, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the viral BBQ Becky video, and nineteenth-century lynchings of Mexicans in the American Southwest, Ruby Hamad builds a powerful argument about the entrenched systems of white supremacy that we are socialized within, a reality that we must apprehend in order to fight." -- Publisher's description ENH Racism.
