Re: Feminism and Race
(Anonymous) 2012-10-28 12:39 am (UTC)(link)Perhaps you can give them some stuff to read. The problem of (white) feminists overlooking the significance of race as an additional axis of oppression for women of colour is far from a new one. bell hooks is one of those big names that has written about this issue. Elizabeth V. Spelman has written about the way that (white) feminists have tended to see race as an additional, supplementary issue, too. Lila Abu-Lughod has written about the way that white feminists sometimes see culture as something other people have (hence, other people get brainwashed but 'we' don't). There are others. This is an ongoing thing. Hell, the history of feminism can be usefully read alongside the history of colonialism (and has been done so. See, for example, Clare Midgley on women activists and the British Empire).
These are not problems that are isolated to feminism — but it is troublesome to see them amongst feminists who are ostensibly concerned with identities, rights and oppression.
...Also, don't expect them to change their tune even if they do read this stuff. There's been stuff written on that, too. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/05/22/957012/-White-Privilege-Diary-Series-1-White-Feminist-Privilege-in-Organizations
That's a wide scatter of things from America and the UK >.>. I hope it helps. Perhaps other people with a more comprehensive knowledge than mine could step up and offer some stuff.
