ABSTRACT

Ann Russo situates antiracist work on whiteness in the context of social justice movement building. Drawing on the work of feminists of color and transnational feminists, such as Cherrie Moraga, Audre Lorde, Aurora Levins Morales, and Sherene Razack, she examines pathways as well as roadblocks to building feminist movements for social change. She is particularly interested in how a white supremacy culture, with its emphasis on individualism, binary thinking, and competition, derails and undermines collective processes and practices essential to a feminist praxis of social change and transformation.
