White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color by Ruby Hamad

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

This book was very thought provoking and eye-opening. It examines how white women have used strategic tears and their position in the hierarchy of white supremacy to deflect criticism and accountability for their racist actions and behaviors. How white feminism has caused real harm to people of color in our lives whether or not we realize it. Packed with personal examples from the author or folks she’s encountered, this book should be a huge wake up call to all of us who call ourselves feminists. 

As a white woman, I thought this was an incredibly important read that will have you examining your complicity in upholding the status quo of white supremacy (intentionally or not). 

I listened to this book on audio as well, and the narration was great and engaging!
