About this book

White Tears/Brown Scars By Ruby Hamad, Download the free PDF copy of this book from here. Ruby Hamad’s “White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color” is a potent examination of white feminism and its effects on women of color.

Published in 2020, the book contends that white feminism has been manipulated as an instrument of white supremacy and patriarchy, adversely affecting Black, Indigenous, and other women of color. It offers historical insights, tracing from the slavery era when white women defended their right to own slaves, to contemporary workplaces. The book acknowledges the experiences of women of color and advocates for a more inclusive form of feminism.

Ruby Hamad

Hamad is an Australian-Lebanese journalist and academic whose White Tears, Brown Scars began as a newspaper column and grew into a book about how the distress of white women has historically been turned against women of colour, running from colonial history through to the modern workplace. The argument drew serious pushback and serious adoption at once.
