bwaber@bookwyrm.social reviewed White Tears Brown Scars by Ruby Hamad
An Urgent, Important Addition to the Philosophical Canon
4 stars
Hamad has penned an incisive, well-researched, and essential work that skewers white feminism, white supremacy, and American exceptionalism (among other things) in a book that reads as an evolution of bell hooks' writings. This book combines historical analysis, philosophy, and deep qualitative analysis in an enlightening and engaging fashion, making it for my money one of the most accessible critical studies books I've ever read. Also there are multiple Helen Lovejoy references! Highly recommend.
