Féminisme des quartiers

Mikki Kendall

Mikki Kendall’s “Hood Feminism” is a critique of mainstream feminism, arguing for a more inclusive approach that addresses the unique struggles of marginalized women. It introduces the concept of “hood feminism” and emphasizes the importance of recognizing the intersectionality of women’s experiences. The book highlights blind spots in mainstream feminism, such as neglecting issues of race, class, and basic needs like food security and housing. It also highlights the importance of feminism in combating violence in marginalized communities. To make feminism more inclusive, the book suggests recognizing intersectionality, centering marginalized voices, and challenging stereotypes. “Hood Feminism” calls for a reimagined feminist movement that empowers all women, regardless of their background.
