- Description
- In this book about gender and race, the author discusses the legacy of white superiority. With illustrations from the slave era through the centuries of colonialism to the modern workplace, the book describes white women’s active participation in campaigns of oppression and the experiences of women of color. For her investigation the author interviewed women from across the Western world.
Discussing subjects as the film The Hunger Games, a video of a white woman calling the police about a black family's BBQ and 19th century lynchings of Mexicans in the American Southwest, the author shows how the division between innocent white women and racialized, sexualized women of color was created and why this division is crucial to confront.
