In this powerful manifesto, Françoise Vergès argues that feminists should not be accomplices of capitalism, racism, colonialism, and imperialism: it is time to build a feminism that fights not only sexism but also the system that created the bosses, built the prisons and polices women’s bodies.

A Decolonial Feminism grapples with the central issues in feminist debates today: from Eurocentrism and whiteness to power, inclusion and exclusion. Delving into feminist and anti-racist histories, Vergès also assesses contemporary activism, movements, and struggles.

Centring anti-imperialism and anti-racism within intersectional socialist feminism, A Decolonial Feminism is an urgent demand to remake a movement.
