Rafia Zakaria on retrieving our stories for a more complete picture of feminism
Listen now
Description
Rafia Zakaria is a Pakistani-American attorney, feminist, journalist and author of an eye opening book I’d recently read - ‘Against White Feminism.’ She believes in an expanded feminist conversation that involves retrieving stories around the world - widening our vocabulary of feminist strength across different cultures. She says: “We need to excavate and retrieve stories that will lead to an expanded self understanding necessary for a universal feminist consciousness.” “We need a project of retrieval, because we have an incomplete picture of feminism right now.” Despite its provocative title,  this book is not a scolding but an invitation.  An invitation to examine our own complicity within oppressive, capitalist structures, and to embark on our journey of 'unlearning' in order to rebuild a new and better world.  Find out more about here here: https://www.rafiazakaria.com/ Learn more at https://www.crewandriot.com/ Follow me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/chin-ru-foo-crewandriot/
