Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot
by Mikki Kendall
challenging
informative
slow-paced
One of the most important perspectives on intersectional feminism I have read. This book was contextually up-to-date and offered a new and challenging perspective on recent social media and celebrity events. I learnt a lot about American politics and life in the Hood in many ways I had not considered (i.e. gun policy as a feminist issue, reproductive justice, food insecurity.)
However, the writing style was difficult to stick with (however brilliant and important the content.) I would recommend “So you want to talk about race?” by Ijeoma Oluo, or the foundational writers such as Alice Walker, Angela Davies, or bell hooks for similar discussions that I personally found more engaging.
