Feminisms In Motion

Description

In recent years, feminism has been at the forefront of social criticism in

the United States, but the mainstream face of feminism is still typically

white and often focused on gender issues to the exclusion of race, class,

and almost everything else. Meanwhile, there are long and rich traditions

of women-of-color-centered feminisms that acknowledge all systems of power

as connected, and recognize how ending one form of violence entails the

transformation of society on multiple fronts. From 2007 to 2017, a small,

Los Angeles-based independent magazine called make/shift published some of

the most inspiring feminist voices of the decade, articulating ideas from

the grassroots and amplifying feminist voices on immigration, state

violence, climate change, and other issues. Feminisms in Motion offers

highlights from 10 years of make/shift magazine, providing a wide-ranging

look at contemporary intersectional feminist thought and action. We are

living in a moment of mounting racist violence, xenophobia, income

inequality, climate displacement, and war. Intersectional feminism has been

creating and pointing toward solutions to these problems for generations.

Feminisms in Motion offers ideas, critique, and inspiration from diverse

feminists from Los Angles, to India, to Palestine, who are pointing toward

a world where all people can thrive.
