Ein Buch, dass jede*r gelesen haben sollte. Durch den Fokus auf Intersektionalität und die Kritik am "weißen Feminismus" hebt sich der Blickwinkel doch sehr von der gängigen Feminismusliteratur ab. Ich denke, dass es für jede Person wichtig ist, dieses Buch zu lesen, um zu verstehen und zu lernen. "Hood Feminism" zeigt auf, wie wichtig intersektionaler Feminismus ist und wie gefährlich es ist, wenn man davon ausgeht, dass wir keinen Feminismus mehr brauchen, "weil es uns ja gut geht".
For me it feels like a better-written pass at the same intro-level Black Feminist ideas that "So You Want To Talk About Race" went for.
3 Stars - mostly based on reading experience! Hood Feminism was a very informative and educational read. I've learned a lot about the life of black women and the overall experience of the black community. There were some very impactful quotes, that I did annotate and want to keep for the future. Reading the book made me more aware of all the privileges, I as a white cis woman, own and showed me how problematic mainstream feminism can be. I will put more attention to that in the future and be more attentive of the white feminism movement and it's questionable behavior. Did I enjoy the read? Absolutely not. I was bored most of the time and fell asleep a dozen of times while reading. It is greatly educational and in many points and aspects interesting but not entertaining and I must say - very repetitive. Obviously the purpose of the book isn't to be entertaining but it felt like a homework to read through all of that. Personally though I think that "Hood Feminism" would be a great literature for educational purposes in schools and universities! For myself I can say that I hate non-fiction books and that fictional literature does have a bigger influence on my person and my knowledge. I just read "Hood Feminism" in a span of 2 Weeks and I already can't remember most of it. Fictional literature has a greater impact on me and doesn't make me feel like learning for an exam in school. This is just a personal preference I have though! I respect all the work and time that Mikki Kendall put into the research and writing of this book and I will probably come back to her when I need to research for POC literature or/and want to educate myself.
