'Powerful and provocative' - Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, author of the
Sunday Times bestselling How to be an Antiracist 'A MUST read for
any white women who consider themselves "feminist"' - Scarlett
Curtis, author of the Sunday Times bestselling Feminists Don't Wear
Pink 'An explosive and revelatory argument for deconstructing and
confronting the entrenched notions of white supremacy and
superiority that still reign today.' - Mireille Harper 'How is it
that we have been so conditioned to privilege the emotional comfort
of white people?' White tears possess a potency that is rarely
acknowledged or commented upon, but they have long been used as a
dangerous and insidious tool against people of colour, weaponised
in order to invoke sympathy and divert blame. Taking us from the
slave era, when white women fought in court to keep 'ownership' of
their slaves, through centuries of colonialism, when women offered
a soft face for brutal tactics, to the modern workplace, in which
tears serve as a defense to counter accusations of bias and
micro-aggressions, 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
colour and an urgent call-to-arms in the need for true
intersectionality. With rigour and precision, Hamad builds a
powerful argument about the legacy of white superiority that we are
socialised within, a reality that we must all apprehend in order to
fight.
