A Decolonial Feminism
A Decolonial Feminism
Starting with the question « Who Cleans the World, » Françoise Vergès grapples with the central issues in feminist debates today: from whiteness to power to the racism and Islamophobia that pervades the femonnationalist politics of women’s rights. Answering « who cleans the world, » Vergès shows how bourgeois feminism and even certain Left feminism chose to ignore class and race divisions that produces their comfortable lives. 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.
