Rage assassine - Mettre fin au racisme

Before Black Lives Matter and #MeToo shook America and the Western world, bell hooks showed in this incisive essay that the abolition of racism and the eradication of sexism go hand in hand. Without feminism, the anti-racist struggle remains a male affair. Without anti-racism, feminism runs the risk of serving as a conveyor belt for the logic of racial domination. The author insists on the validity of the rage that drives the popular masses and black youth, and on the need to turn it into a driving force for radical social change. She proposes a revolutionary theory and practice, the end of which is a community of solidarity based on real equality and the willingness of all to work for change.
