White Tears/Brown Scars

A$35 · Offered by Harry Hartog Rare Books · No longer available

When white people cry foul it is often people of colour who suffer. White tears have a potency that silences racial minorities. White Tears/Brown Scars blows open the inconvenient truth that when it comes to race, white entitlement is too often masked by victimhood. Never is this more obvious than the dealings between women of colour and white women. What happens when racism and sexism collide? Ruby Hamad provides some confronting answers and provides a crucial update to her groundbreaking work, reflecting in a new preface on how the behaviour of individuals is mirrored by institutions of power, which can be seen in current political events.
