A Decolonial Feminism

***Winner of an English PEN Award 2021*** 'A vibrant and compelling framework for feminism in our times' - Judith Butler For too long feminism has been co-opted by the forces they seek to dismantle. In this powerful manifesto Francoise Verges argues that feminists should no longer be accomplices of capitalism racism colonialism and imperialism: it is time to fight the system that created the boss built the prisons and polices women’s bodies. A Decolonial Feminism grapples with the central issues in feminist debates today: from Eurocentrism and whiteness to power inclusion and exclusion. Delving into feminist and anti-racist histories Verges also assesses contemporary activism movements and struggles including #MeToo and the Women's Strike. Centring anticolonialism and anti-racism within an intersectional Marxist feminism the book puts forward an urgent demand to free ourselves from the capitalist imperialist forces that oppress us.
