Feminism, Interrupted: Disrupting Power

Outspoken by Pluto

De: Lola Olufemi

Narrado por: Nicolette Wilson-Clarke

More than just a slogan on a t-shirt, feminism is a radical tool for fighting back against structural violence and injustice. Feminism, Interrupted is a bold call to seize feminism back from the cultural gatekeepers and return it to its radical roots.

Lola Olufemi explores state violence against women, the fight for reproductive justice, transmisogyny, gendered Islamophobia, and solidarity with global struggles, showing that the fight for gendered liberation can change the world for everybody when we refuse to think of it solely as women's work. Including testimonials from Sisters Uncut, migrant groups working for reproductive justice, prison abolitionists, and activists involved in the international fight for Kurdish and Palestinian rights, Olufemi emphasises the link between feminism and grassroots organising.

Reclaiming feminism from the clutches of the consumerist, neoliberal model, Feminism, Interrupted shows that when "feminist" is more than a label, it holds the potential for radical transformative work.

Amazing

I loved it - easy to follow, interesting, engaging, fresh. I especially loved this part: “Art is best utilised as a weapon, a writing back, as evidence that we were here.”

Excellent introduction to Black British Feminism

This is an entry level text into a serious and critical discussion on the limitations and broad reach of feminism. It’s smart and accessible, holding feminists accountable for sometimes colluding with patriarchal agents and lifting up generations of important feminist initiatives beyond static borders. Great work.
