About this product
Product Information
Called "powerful and provocative" by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, author of the New York Times bestselling How to be an Antiracist , this explosive book of history and cultural criticism reveals how white feminism has been used as a weapon of white supremacy and patriarchy deployed against Black and Indigenous women, and 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 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. Discussing subjects as varied as The Hunger Games , Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the viral BBQ Becky video, and 19th century lynchings of Mexicans in the American Southwest, Ruby Hamad undertakes a new investigation of gender and race. She shows how the division between innocent white women and racialized, sexualized women of color was created, and why this division is crucial to confront. Along the way, there are revelatory responses to questions like: Why are white men not troubled by sexual assault on women? (See Christine Blasey Ford.) With rigor and precision, Hamad builds a powerful argument about the legacy of white superiority that we are socialized within, a reality that we must apprehend in order to fight. "A stunning and thorough look at White womanhood that should be required reading for anyone who claims to be an intersectional feminist. Hamad's controlled urgency makes the book an illuminating and poignant read. Hamad is a purveyor of such bold thinking, the only question is, are we ready to listen?" --Rosa Boshier, The Washington Post

Hamad's controlled urgency makes the book an illuminating and poignant read. Hamad is a purveyor of such bold thinking, the only question is, are we ready to listen?"--Rosa Boshier, The Washington Post "In her debut book, journalist Ruby Hamad explores the connections between white feminism and white supremacy . . . In breaking down examples from history, as well as from her own life as an Arab woman working in Australian media, Hamad offers a haunting but powerful reading of white feminism and its lasting impacts on marginalized communities."--Annabel Gutterman, TIME "[A] must-read." --Keely Weiss, Harper's Bazaar "Exactly the kind of book that every ally needs to read right now." --Laura Hanrahan, Cosmopolitan "Hamad offers a comprehensive look at the ways in which women of color have been dismissed by society . . . This book should be considered required reading." --Lauren LeBlanc, The Observer "It's eye-opening and necessary reading for anyone, but especially white women who consider themselves feminists." -- BuzzFeed "[A] provocative exploration of the ways--both historic and current--that white women have been dangerous agents of white supremacy . . . Hamad is a rigorous historical reporter and a powerful storyteller, and her work in White Tears/Brown Scars will leave readers appropriately unsettled, enraged, and urged to take action against the Amy Coopers of the world." --Kristin Iversen, Refinery29 "Amid a sea of recent books about white women's commitment to white supremacy, White Tears/Brown Scars stands out."-- Bitch "In this endlessly readable debut, Ruby Hamad expertly illustrates the multitude of historical and contemporary ways in which white feminism has been used as a tool of white supremacy. White feminists: READ THIS BOOK." --Karla Strand, Ms. Magazine "With scholarly but highly engaging prose, Hamad details white women's roles in oppression across continents, a much-needed history lesson for those inclined to reduce racism to individual behavior . . . For readers truly interested in dismantling white supremacy, this is a must-read. An extraordinary book for anyone who wishes to pay more than lip service to truly inclusive, intersectional feminism." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "White Tears/Brown Scars belongs in twenty-first-century feminist canon. It's grounded in deep historical context, yet thoroughly of the present. It makes bold intellectual arguments, but is extremely readable and grounded in human experience. If you are a white woman, it may make for uncomfortable reading: this book takes the most precise scalpel to the way that white women leverage race and gender of any book that I've read. If you are a woman of color, perhaps it will make you feel seen. If you are a man, read it for your own education! Hamad has written a truly exceptional, agenda-setting work."--Rachel Hills, author of The Sex Myth "An essential guide for those who want to be truly intersectional in their feminism.

Hamad is a rigorous historical reporter and a powerful storyteller, and her work in White Tears/Brown Scars will leave readers appropriately unsettled, enraged, and urged to take action against the Amy Coopers of the world." --Kristin Iversen, Refinery29 "Amid a sea of recent books about white women's commitment to white supremacy, White Tears/Brown Scars stands out." -- Bitch "In this endlessly readable debut, Ruby Hamad expertly illustrates the multitude of historical and contemporary ways in which white feminism has been used as a tool of white supremacy. White feminists: READ THIS BOOK." --Karla Strand, Ms. Magazine "With scholarly but highly engaging prose, Hamad details white women's roles in oppression across continents, a much-needed history lesson for those inclined to reduce racism to individual behavior . . . For readers truly interested in dismantling white supremacy, this is a must-read. An extraordinary book for anyone who wishes to pay more than lip service to truly inclusive, intersectional feminism." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "An incisive book of history and cultural commentary with a wide scope." --Casey Stepaniuk, Autostraddle "White Tears/Brown Scars belongs in twenty-first-century feminist canon. It's grounded in deep historical context, yet thoroughly of the present. It makes bold intellectual arguments, but is extremely readable and grounded in human experience. If you are a white woman, it may make for uncomfortable reading: this book takes the most precise scalpel to the way that white women leverage race and gender of any book that I've read. If you are a woman of color, perhaps it will make you feel seen. If you are a man, read it for your own education! Hamad has written a truly exceptional, agenda-setting work." Rachel Hills, author of The Sex Myth "An essential guide for those who want to be truly intersectional in their feminism. Ruby Hamad skillfully distills history, academic research, and lived experiences of women of color to create an engaging inquiry into white supremacy and the role of white women within it." Zeba Talkhani, author of My Past Is a Foreign Country, A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year The Weekend Edition , A Beginner's Guide to Antiracism Reading Pick "A stunning and thorough look at White womanhood that should be required reading for anyone who claims to be an intersectional feminist. Hamad's controlled urgency makes the book an illuminating and poignant read. Hamad is a purveyor of such bold thinking, the only question is, are we ready to listen?" --Rosa Boshier, The Washington Post "In her debut book, journalist Ruby Hamad explores the connections between white feminism and white supremacy . . .

She challenges society to face the discrimination it has normalised, and to commit to a future where white women let go of their privilege and stand with women of colour." -- The Saturday Paper "Ruby Hamad should be applauded for writing this well researched and informative book . . . Hamad has not so much thrown a grenade into the arena, rather she has exposed an unexploded bomb set in the core foundations of western-settler societies." -- Independent Australia "[A] blistering take on feminism and race . . . Ruby Hamad takes readers on an eye-opening historical journey through the oppression and marginalisation of colonised and enslaved women . . . It's a book I couldn't recommend more highly." --Jo Case, InDaily "An informative and compelling read. Ruby Hamad's work is absolutely essential reading for today - as it helps bring to the fore what was once only suspected." -- Indian Link "[An] often confronting and always challenging book . . . White Tears/Brown Scars is provocative and intelligent . . . Hamad has written a persuasive book which deserves to be read and thought about carefully." -- Queensland Reviewers Collective "Hamad is a writer of formidable talent and perceptiveness. White Tears/Brown Scars is one of the most important books of 2019, and I believe a copy should live on every single bookshelf in Australia." --Kill Your Darlings "I loved Hamad's book for its unapologetic rigour and sharp threading of racial history . . . a powerful assessment of the institutional and cultural structures that have shaped the way we operate both as a society and individually." --Jessie Tu, Woman's Agenda "Hamad makes academic theory and concepts accessible to a wider readership without watering down their complexity . . . [and] has provided us with a historical account of and terminology for calling out Strategic White Womanhood." --Hellai Gul, Feminist Writers Festival blog "Hamad writes with a vigour and insight that is energising . . . at once academic and accessible, highly readable . . . White Tears/Brown Scars packs a powerful punch . . . a challenging, important read that will benefit all readers, regardless of gender or race." --Zoya Patel, The Canberra Times "Hamad's work is meticulously researched, comprehensively catalogued and makes for a compelling critique of the ways in which the woman of colour is pilloried and crucified at the altar of white fragility . . . If a politics of solidarity is to have any meaning in a world torn apart by old wounds, let's join hands and celebrate Hamad's White Tears/Brown Scars ." -- Dr Mridula Nath Chakraborty, The Sydney Morning Herald, Real Simple , 1 of 15 Books About Race That Everyone Should Read Buzzfeed , A Book to Read to Support the Fight Against Police Brutality The Weekend Edition , A Beginner's Guide to Antiracism Reading Pick "Exactly the kind of book that every ally needs to read right now." --Laura Hanrahan, Cosmopolitan , A Best Nonfiction Book of the Year "Hamad offers a comprehensive look at the ways in which women of color have been dismissed by society . . .

Zeba Talkhani, author of My Past Is a Foreign Country "A must-read for all white feminists. To develop the feminist coalitions that are so desperately needed in these times, we need frank conversations between feminists of colour and white feminists, in which white women take accountability instead of using tears to avoid it. Hamad's book is an essential resource to help us do this." Alison Phipps, author of Me, Not You

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
