Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot by Mikki Kendall
informative
fast-paced
5.0
Super good especially for anyone who wants to be a more inclusive/intersectional feminist. My only criticism is there was very little acknowledgement of how white feminism affects Asians, it was heavily mentioned how it affects black, indigenous, and latina women (rightly so) but Asian women was widely forgotten in this discussion. One part could be the lack of information/stats on it and what stats/info IS available is heavily biased/racialized to show how Asians aren't affected (which isn't true. East Asians are the least affected particularly Japanese and Korean but all other Asians, especially brown Asians and non christian Asians have similar stats to black and other brown women). I know it isn't the author's place/duty to do all that when her main concern is black women like herself though. The author does a great job explaining and detailing how white feminism/feminists hurt pocs intentionally and unintentionally and how community care and action (providing programs and resources) needs to be a bigger part in feminism instead of just talk.
