HOW WILL WE END VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN OF COLOR?
\nWhere has the mainstream anti-violence movement gone wrong? What does it mean to reconceptualize violence against women beyond the interpersonal? How can we make connections between gender violence and state violence in the forms of militarism and colonialism? How do we strive to understand and challenge the perpetration of white supremacy?
\nJoin us for this compelling and inspiring exploration of justice and freedom.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More about the anthology…
\nColor of Violence places women of color at the center of analysis and argues that neither white-dominated discourses on gender violence nor male-dominated discourses on racial violence provide the comprehensive analyses to end racism and sexism.<\/p>\n
This anthology presents the fierce and vital writing of 32 visionaries who shift the focus from the interpersonal and map innovative strategies of movement building and resistance used by women of color around the world.
\nCopies of Color of Violence will be available to purchase at the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
