White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color

Everyone should read this book. It\’s eye-opening and insightful. There is room for everyone to learn and grow.

This book talks about history in a way that is actually interesting and different. Really appreciate hearing about real life experiences in the work place. Helped me think about not just my situation but the entire system itself. Really recommend to anyone who wants to hear about sexism, feminism & white girl tears.

This book is very well constructed and throughout the book the author draws on lots of historical resources and clearly articulated her thought process and conclusions regarding white women’s pivotal role in colonialism and upholding the patriarchy. That being said, the clear and systematic way the author laid out her ideas and sources was key in how she conveys her argument: so I was a bit surprised how in the conclusion of the book the author chooses to focus on environmental colonialism (mostly because it was really not a major point of her book thus far at all and seemed to be newly introduced in the conclusion) amongst other things, and relies mostly on conjecture and doesn’t lay out her argument with the same academic rigor that was present throughout the entire book. That’s not to say I disagree with most of her statements in the conclusion, it’s just that it was a stark difference from the previous 90% of the book. It was just a very jarring change to bring up topics that were at best tangentially mentioned earlier in the book and then the latter half of the conclusion is devoted to them. Overall it was a very good book, and the author draws on sources from the United States as well as Australia, amongst other places, and the sources from Australia were very interesting because while they mirror the colonial history of so many different parts of the world, I personally hadn’t read much of Australia’s colonial history and found them insightful. Would definitely recommend this book as a must read for anyone.

This book is informative and enlightening . st times, it sounded like dissertation. No doubt some will find it as an attack on Anglo women. Stick with it. There are truths here.

This performance and book are excellent in every way. The information and lived experience shared in this novel are a must listen/know for living as a white women in our world. These are the books that should be required reading for anyone who calls themselves “woke” or “ally”. Anti racism is the work of Never stoping learning and being better. Thank you Ruby Hamad for this generosity.
