Racism, Violence, Betrayals and New Imaginaries

This is a unique collection of writings on race and racism by black women from South Africa and Brazil.

Encompassing both fiction and non-fiction, the anthology is made up of academic essays, creative non-fiction, poetry and short stories.

Through these different modes, the book engages with the complexities of race in multiple social, political, economic, institutional and personal spaces.

Concerned with social justice, human rights and freedom, the various feminist critiques centralise the intermingling of racial, gender and class subjectivities and how these are marked on bodies, but also how they are un-marked, re-marked and re-made.

These critiques are tied to global and local social and political phenomena in the modern-day world.
