Feminism, Interrupted: Disrupting Power (Outspoken by Pluto)

Product Information

Olafumi pun ingin mengajak pembaca untuk memahami kalau feminisme itu sejatinya membebaskan dari apa yang selama ini membelenggu kita dalam batasan: gender dan jenis kelamin.

The vigorous debates in and around feminism and feminist praxis since the later 2000s have produced some of the most challenging political engagements with contemporary social and cultural life; in this they are paralleled by the more recent growing trends in anti-racist activism and action and by the growth of decolonial praxis in the same period. a lot of attention is often placed on changing policy to legalise abortion, but that doesn't always lead to 'reproductive justice' for all women. Olufemi considers many different facets of feminism including reproductive justice, art, incarceration, solidarity and more. Olufemi envisages a living, breathing practice of feminism that is anticapitalist, transnational, and collective.

Her book brings it back to the real world, where feminism is about “food insecurity and access to quality education, safe neighbourhoods, a living wage and medical care”. But loosely, feminists have understood gender as our sense of self in the world, how we present our bodies, speak, move--anything that refers to our own bodies. From the start, the author is forthright about her purpose and role – she is the sort of feminist who is here to unsettle. This revolutionary book reclaims feminism from consumerism through exploring state violence against women, reproductive justice, transmisogyny, sex work, gendered Islamophobia and much more, showing that the struggle for gendered liberation is a struggle for justice, one that can transform the world for everyone.

olufemi uses ireland as a case study; they recently legalised abortion via a referendum, but many of the same restrictions remain, especially for migrants and women of colour. At points the arguments made could be easily dismissed and rebuked by anti-feminists, and many sound more like commonsensical slogans to a certain group of feminists than actual explanations. Her work focuses on the uses of the feminist imagination and its relationship to cultural production, political demands and futurity.Simply one of the best books I've read on contemporary feminism and it's capacity to make change in the world at all levels. I would recommend this book for those interested in gender politics and non fiction as it is easy to go through.

Cudownie rozprawia się też z liberalnym (mainstreamowym czy też konsumpcyjnym) feminizmem, pokazując, jak bardzo wyklucza on te grupy, które feminizmu najbardziej potrzebują i którym głos jest zabierany. Olufemi explores state violence against women, the fight for reproductive justice, transmisogyny, gendered Islamophobia and solidarity with global struggles, showing that the fight for gendered liberation can change the world for everybody when we refuse to think of it solely as women's work. Ostatnio takie wrażenie zrobiła na mnie bell hooks, jeżeli chodzi o zmuszanie mnie do myślenia i naprowadzanie mnie na nowe ścieżki skojarzeń. i think it's especially great as a primer to feminist politics in the uk currently, but if you've already read about this subject quite a bit then it might not exactly be for you. Not only that, it has a great collection of further reading recommendations based on the topics discussed to help readers continue their journey of learning about these topics.

It covers a variety of subjects - sex work, immigration, domestic labour, transmisogyny, Islamophobia, art, consent, fatphobia, reproductive justice, and solidarity - from a Black feminist perspective. What I also really liked about Lola Olufemi's work is it's grounding in the British experiences of women (particularly Black women) and facts relating to Britain. Kutipan yang ada di atas merupakan sebuah kritik terhadap Sheryl Sandberg dan bukunya yang berjudul "Lean In. But she makes up for it in optimism, looking ahead to a feminism that includes the experiences of all women. She appears didactic, naive and arrogant in her dismissal of years of activism thinking and hard work by many people.

Plastered over t-shirts and tote bags, the word ‘feminist’ has entered the mainstream and is fast becoming a popular slogan for our generation.Plastered over t-shirts and tote bags, the word 'feminist' has entered the mainstream and is fast becoming a popular slogan for our generation. I capitoli più illuminanti per me sono stati quello relativo alle sex workers e quello dedicato al cibo e al corpo.
