White Tears Brown Scars
Hamad takes us from the slave era, when white women fought in court to keep 'ownership' of their slaves, through centuries of colonialism, when women offered a soft face for brutal tactics, to the modern workplace, in which tears serve as a defense to counter accusations of bias and micro-aggressions. This book is a klaxon call for intersectional feminism and observes in detail how we have been raised and socialised within a culture that promotes white superiority and the harm that that has done to the voices of people, particularly women, of colour. White Tears/Brown Scars is a vital call to action for amplifying and prioritising intersectional feminism.
