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.
