<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Includes conversations with Avtar Brah, Gail Lewis, Vron Ware, Himani Bannerji, Gary Kinsman, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Silvia Federici, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Avery F. Gordon, Angela Y. Davis and an afterword by Lisa Lowe.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A unique book, tracing forty years of anti-racist feminist thought</b> <p/> In a moment of rising authoritarianism, climate crisis, and ever more exploitative forms of neoliberal capitalism, there is a compelling and urgent need for radical paradigms of thought and action. Through interviews with key revolutionary scholars, Bhandar and Ziadah present a thorough discussion of how anti-racist, anti-capitalist feminisms are crucial to building effective political coalitions. Collectively, these interviews with leading scholars including Angela Y. Davis, Silvia Federici, and many others, trace the ways in which black, indigenous, post-colonial and Marxian feminisms have created new ways of seeing, new theoretical frameworks for analysing political problems, and new ways of relating to one another. Focusing on migration, neo-imperial militarism, the state, the prison industrial complex, social reproduction and many other pressing themes, the range of feminisms traversed in this volume show how freedom requires revolutionary transformation in the organisation of the economy, social relations, political structures, and our psychic and symbolic worlds. <p/> The interviews include Avtar Brah, Gail Lewis and Vron Ware on Diaspora, Migration and Empire. Himani Bannerji, Gary Kinsman, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, and Silvia Federici on Colonialism, Capitalism, and Resistance. Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Avery F. Gordon and Angela Y. Davis on Abolition Feminism.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The contributors may not agree on every detail, and neither may you, but if you are looking for a thought-provoking, academic overview, covering all aspects of revolutionary feminism, you have found it."<br> <b>--Stella Dadzie, author of <i>The Heart of the Race</i></b> <p/>"Provides reassuring and informative perspectives on the lifelong journey of effecting change in complex socio-economic and political systems.
