Vražda ředitele americké pojišťovny UnitedHealthcare Briana Thompsona otřásla začátkem prosince internetem, a nejen jím. Obžalovaný z vraždy Luigi Mangione okamžitě získal masovou podporu. V online sbírce se na něj již vybralo v přepočtu více než tři miliony korun, internet zaplavují memy a firmy začínají vyrábět merch deklarující podporu obžalovanému. Ačkoli u sebe podle americké policie Mangione měl dopis, v němž odsuzoval pojišťovny a jejich fungování, jeho vina nebyla zatím dokázána a právník šestadvacetiletého absolventa prestižní americké univerzity jeho vinu popírá. Solidarita s Mangionem nicméně nevznikla proto, že by lidé věřili, že čin nespáchal. Naopak. V posledních týdnech lidé zveřejňují mrazivé příběhy o tom, co jim UnitedHealthcare jako pojišťovna, jíž pravidelně platili příspěvky, provedla. V USA je systém zdravotního pojištění zcela privatizovaný a k pojištěným se pojišťovny chovají často tak, jak je to pro ně finančně nejvýhodnější. Například UnitedHealthcare v průměru zamítá třetinu pojistných zákroků, a to i když jde o nutné procedury plně pojištěných osob. Tato praxe má za následek, že lidé – nejen z nižší, ale i střední třídy – často upadají do dluhů a jejich zdravotní stav se zhoršuje, neboť pojišťovny žádosti o odvolání bez soucitu odmítají. Na tomto systému zavražděný Thompson vydělával v přepočtu 20 milionů korun měsíčně. Právě proto je jeho vražda pro mnoho lidí odpovědí na utrpení a frustraci americké společnosti. Čin, z něhož je Mangione obžalovaný, je otevřeně politický. V novém dílu Hysterie probíráme, jak na politické násilí v minulosti pohlížely anarchistky, marxistky a feministky. Je totiž jednoduché říct, že „všechno násilí je špatné“ nebo že „vražda není nikdy legitimní“. Mnoho lidí si však takovou pozici zkrátka nemůže dovolit. Jak připomíná mimo jiné Rafia Zakaria, každý emancipační boj má jiné strategie, závislé na kontextu a na situaci. A mnoho takových bitev v minulosti obsahovalo také politické násilí, například boj o volební právo sufražetek. Líbil se vám dnešní díl a stále nejste pravidelnými přispěvateli Alarmu?

Mainstream feminism today was created mostly by white women, for white women. It has soaked into American pop culture, social media, the economy, politics, and more. Rafia Zakaria wants that to change. In this episode, we discuss her book Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption. About the Guest Rafia Zakaria is a Pakistani-American attorney, feminist, journalist, and author. Her books include he authored the books The Upstairs Wife: An Intimate History of Pakistan and Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption.
This conversation was real and hard, and at times provocative but worth listening to every minute if you truly believe in equity for ALL women. Rafia Zakaria is the author of one of the most important books of our time: Against White Feminism- challenging all of us, white, brown and black women to strive for inclusive feminism that moves beyond the upper middle-class white women.
Anche se l'amore rimane materia sfuggente e inconoscibile, noi continuamo a parlarne, continuamo a ragionarci sopra, continuiamo a raccontarlo. Magari grazie ai libri… Con Alice viaggiamo attraverso tre novità letterarie italiane che raccontano tre delle possibili stagioni dell'amore, con modi, stili e prospettive differenti. Senza fornire grandi risposte (quelle sono impossibili!) ma magari qualche riflessione, e perché no, un po' di conforto. Partiremo da L'ombra del Vulcano, l'ultimo libro di Marco Rossari, che oggi torna al romanzo con l'editore Einaudi, raccontando cosa rimane quando l'amore finisce e l'età è ormai matura. Poi continueremo con Una piuma nascosta di Lisa Ginzburg, pubblicato da Rizzoli, che analizza l'amore quando nasce nella forma più pura, cioè quella sperimentata da chi non l'ha mai provato prima, almeno in quei termini, semplicemente perché prima era troppo giovane. E chiuderemo con Gianluca Nativo e il suo Polveri sottili, pubblicato da Mondadori. Un romanzo che descrive l'amore dei ventenni, quello sospeso tra l'inconsapevolezza adolescenziale e il desiderio di farlo diventare parte di una vita finalmente adulta.Per la rubrica Mirador, che raccoglie proposte letterarie insolite e sorprendenti recensite da grandi voci della letteratura in italiano, Djarah Kan racconterà Contro il femminismo bianco di Rafia Zakaria.

Today I am delighted to be in conversation with Rafia Zakaria, an American Muslim author, attorney, and political philosopher, to discuss her powerful book, Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption. In this book, Rafia challenges white feminism's global, long-standing affinity with colonial, patriarchal, and white supremacist ideals. Covering such ground as the legacy of the British feminist imperialist savior complex and "the colonial thesis that all reform comes from the West" to the condescension of the white feminist-led "aid industrial complex" and the conflation of sexual liberation as the "sum total of empowerment," Zakaria follows in the tradition of intersectional feminist forebears Kimberlé Crenshaw, Adrienne Rich, and Audre Lorde. Zakaria ultimately refutes and reimagines the apolitical aspirations of white feminist empowerment in this radical critique, with Black and Brown feminist thought at the forefront.Rafia is a writer at the Baffler and Dawn magazine and a Fellow at the African American Policy Forum, an innovative think tank Co-Founded by Kimberle Crenshaw that connects academics, activists and policy-makers to promote efforts to dismantle structural inequality.

Ce qui manque à nos luttes, c'est peut-être un imaginaire commun, un futur idéal que l'on chercherait, ensemble, à atteindre. Peut-être que pour changer la société actuelle, c'est d'utopies dont nous avons besoin. Pour faire advenir notre société féministe idéale, encore faut-il l'imaginer. Dans cet épisode, Rafia Zakaria, avocate et intellectuelle féministe pakistano-américaine nous parle du premier magazine indien créé par et pour les femmes et d'une utopie qui y est publiée : Le Rêve de Sultana. Elle nous explique en quoi les utopies nous permettent de proposer une autre histoire, une autre perspective. Pour Réjane Sénac, politologue, l'utopie est le seul réalisme. Initiatives citoyennes, manifestations, désobéissances civiles sont déjà des utopies en acte, des “désobéissances fertiles et heureuses”. La Méthode est une coproduction Louie Media et Gloria Media. Elle est présentée par Rebecca Amsellem, qui l'a co-écrite avec Léna Coutrot en collaboration avec Fanny Ruwet. Elle a été réalisée par Alexandra Kandy-Longuet.

Nous traversons un moment politique historique, où tout peut basculer. Vers un monde encore plus misogyne, ou vers une société vraiment égalitaire. Alors, pour tenter de faire advenir une société féministe, est-ce qu'il n'y aurait pas une méthode ? Dans cette série documentaire en six épisodes, Rebecca Amsellem s'interroge sur les moyens à notre disposition pour mener une lutte féministe victorieuse.Dans le monde entier, des mouvements se structurent pour renverser le patriarcat, et ce depuis bien longtemps. La première étape, c'est de construire la mémoire de ces luttes, et la célébrer ; c'est ce que pense la philosophe Geneviève Fraisse. Sa méthode, c'est l'historicité, pour ne pas avoir à recommencer le combat féministe de zéro, à chaque fois. Pour l'avocate et autrice pakistanaise-américaine Rafia Zakaria, il est aussi urgent que cette histoire du féminisme s'émancipe du récit occidental, centré sur les femmes blanches. Elles veulent toutes les deux abandonner le concept de « vagues du féminisme », pour raconter cette lutte dans toute sa continuité. La Méthode est une coproduction Louie Media et Gloria Media. Elle est présentée par Rebecca Amsellem, qui l'a co-écrite avec Léna Coutrot en collaboration avec Fanny Ruwet. Elle a été réalisée par Alexandra Kandy-Longuet.

Maybe we are missing a common imaginary, an ideal future that together, we could strive for. To change society, we need utopias. To make our ideal feminist society become finally real, we first need to imagine it.In this episode, Rafia Zakaria, a Pakistani-American feminist lawyer and intellectual, tells us about India's first magazine created by and for women, and a short-story: Sultana's Dream. She explains how utopias allow us to imagine another story, another perspective. For Réjane Sénac, a French political scientist, utopia is the only realism. Citizen initiatives, demonstrations, civil disobedience are already utopias in action, "fertile and happy disobedience". The Method is a co-production by Louie Media and Gloria Media. Rebecca Amsellem is the host, and she co-wrote this podcast with Léna Coutrot, in collaboration with Fanny Ruwet.This documentary series was directed by Alexandra Kandy-Longuet. Soukaïna Qabbal was editing and producing. The original music was composed by Clémentine Charuel and Julie Roué. Stephanie Williamson translated the text from French to English. Hosted on Acast.

We are going through historical times. Everything changes so fast. Change can go both ways: our society can become even more misogynistic, or we could finally live in a more equal world. But to try to build a feminist society, we need a Method. In this 6-part series, Rebecca Ansellem, a French-Canadian feminist activist, investigates how we could achieve a successful feminist movement. All over the world, movements are organizing to overthrow the patriarchy, and have been for a long time. According to the French philosopher Geneviève Fraisse, the first step of the method is to write the history of these struggles and to celebrate it, in order not to have to start from scratch every time. For the Pakistani-American lawyer and author Rafia Zakaria, it is also urgent to emancipate the history of feminism from the Western narrative, centred on white women. They both want to abandon the concept of "waves of feminism", to tell the story of this movement in all its continuity. The Method is a co-production by Louie Media and Gloria Media. Rebecca Amsellem is the host, and she co-wrote this podcast with Léna Coutrot, in collaboration with Fanny Ruwet.This documentary series was directed by Alexandra Kandy-Longuet. Soukaïna Qabbal was editing and producing. The original music was composed by Clémentine Charuel and Julie Roué. Lola Peploe was the English voice of Geneviève Fraisse.

Maria and Julio are joined by Ayman Mohyeldin, host of the MSNBC show “Ayman” and host of the podcast “American Radical.” They dive into the story of Rosanne Boyland and her participation in the January 6 insurrection. They also talk about radicalization when it comes to white people, the issues with media coverage of war and a recent New York Times report about Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, Ginni. ITT Staff Picks: In this piece for Vanity Fair, Ayman Mohyeldin and Preeti Varathan expand on the radicalization of Rosanne Boyland, which ultimately led to her death. On Justice Clarence Thomas and Ginni Thomas, Michael Tomasky writes, “Democrats, it's long past time to make an issue of him and his wife,” for The New Republic. “They must understand that there are no civilized wars,” writes Rafia Zakaria — an attorney, journalist and author — about the media coverage of Russia's invasion in Ukraine.

Feminism today is wracked with inequality. Rafia Zakaria, author of Against White Feminism, says feminists must have a reckoning within and that white women must make space for those women who may not be the policymakers or theorists, but who live the feminist struggle every day of their lives.

On this episode of en(gender)ed, guest host Roman James interviews feminist lawyer, human rights activist, political philosopher, columnist and author, Rafia Zakaria about her newly released book, Against White Feminism, Notes on Disruption. Roman speaks with Rafia about the historic domination of the feminist lexicon by upper middle-class white women, the de-centering of Black and Brown voices, and the role that patriarchy plays in perpetuating white supremacist, capitalist, imperialist feminism which often subjugates the very populations it asserts to be empowering. Roman James is mama to the most wonderful, generous, and intelligent light being she ever met. Additionally, she serves as an activist and resistor of the violence imposed on women and children in the archaic American family court system having been radicalized by the institutional betrayal of the legal system. Her purpose is to thrive in her self-possession, rise above the systemic failures and leave everyone she comes in contact with better off for having met her. During our conversation, Roman and Rafia referenced the following resources: Rafia's journey to becoming a feminist. Rafia's perspective on women being tasked to be disrupters. 1893 World's Fair's showcase of the “White City” and the exclusion of Black people and communities The controversy behind ESPN reporter Maria Taylor and Rachel Nicols The double standard and racism behind “culturally-coded crimes” --- Thanks for tuning in to the en(gender)ed podcast!

We're excited to share our great conversation with Rafia Zakaria on her latest book, AGAINST WHITE FEMINISM. Rafia Zakaria is an attorney, political philosopher, the author of The Upstairs Wife: An Intimate History of Pakistan, Veil, and most recently Against White Feminism. She also authored many essays for the Guardian, CNN, and the New York Times Book Review. She is a regular columnist for Dawn in Pakistan and the Baffler in the United States. You can also find her on Substack. AGAINST WHITE FEMINISM provides historical and contemporary evidence as to the destructive, problematic nature of white feminism and why we need to disrupt and dismantle it. Per Zakaria, a white feminist is someone who refuses to consider the role that whiteness and racial privilege have played and continue to play in universalizing white feminist concerns, agendas, and beliefs as being those of all feminism and all of feminists. Rafia Zakaria is one of the many authors from around the world participating in Miami Book Fair 2021, the nation's largest gathering of writers and readers of all ages. She is so looking forward to sharing her work, thoughts and new ideas with everyone, in person and on line.

This week Cal and I discuss the downfalls of "white feminism" and how this is letting women down. We discuss how we can participate in feminism in an intersectional way and keep driving the movement forward so no one is getting left behind. Plus, did you know that labiaplasty is fastest rising cosmetic surgery worldwide? Many people with vaginas are getting them nipped and tucked and we what to know WHY? In a poll of more than 3,600 readers, the online women's magazine Refinery29 found that almost half (48%) had concerns about the appearance of their vulva. Of those, 64% were worried about the size and 60% about the shape of their vulva, with almost one-third (30%) worried about the colour of their genitals. And I think it comes down to thinking that our vulva isn't "normal" well, before you make that assumption, have a look at these vulva positive influencers who can educate you on what "normal" actually looks like... Check out Ying Lee (@sativaplath69), who posts about their “phat coochie” and got an incredible 6.4m views for their video on “gatekeeping phat coochie culture” and you may also want to have a look at gynaecologists Jennifer Lincoln (@drjenniferlincoln) and Jen Gunter (@drjengunter) - the author of The Vagina Bible – who make videos explain the vast spectrum of what is normal. Cal let's rip another glorious rant and this one will hit you hard and we end with a confession from Izzy who is a self-described pervert...uh oh...lot's to discuss! Resources: The book Cal refer to is Against White Feminism by Rafia Zakaria. And if you loved that then have a listen to Koa Beck chatting about the racism imbedded in white feminism.

Rafia Zakaria's controversial Against White Feminism challenges the status of icons like Simone de Beauvoir, Betty Friedan, and Eve Ensler.
Feminism means different things to different people. If you listened to our episode earlier this year, Feminism for the 99 percent, we took a deep dive into this, unpacking how women's issues intersect with class and race, what trickle-down feminism is, who's included and precluded from certain forms of mainstream, American feminism, and why it's important for feminism to be truly intersectional and inclusive. In this Conversation, we take a deep dive into how the ideology of whiteness permeates mainstream, Western feminism, and how those on the peripheries are often left out — and even exploited by — feminism and certain feminists. Rafia Zakaria is a columnist for Dawn in Pakistan and author, most recently, of Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption, published by Norton and Company. Against White Feminism has made quite a splash since its publication in August, with a lot of positive reception, but also drawing the ire of many of those who it seeks to critique — namely, a certain cadre of feminists, often upper-middle class and white, who hold onto their very specific ideas about what feminism is, what it's not, and perhaps most importantly — who gets to define it. We explore how a certain liberal form of white-supremacy permeates much of mainstream feminism, how the white feminist savior complex and imperial feminism have been deployed throughout history — and well into our present times, such as in Afghanistan — to marginalize women of color and impose the “correct” form of feminism in non-consensual and harmful ways, what trickle-down or #girlboss feminism are, and more.

In this episode, host Anita Fuentes investigates the implications of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan from different angles with the help of guests Rafia Zakaria and Professor Michael Klare. Rafia Zakaria talks about her new book, Against White Feminism (2021), and how it ties into Western media coverage of Afghan women. Fuentes also speaks to Professor Michael Klare, defense correspondent at The Nation magazine, about his take on the US withdrawal from Afghanistan; a very different one to those being portrayed in mainstream media. The episode ends with a September media roundup, a brief section in which news articles, reports, and other materials focusing on (in)security issues are discussed. Security in Context is a podcast project from the research network of the same name, aimed at promoting new thinking on security from a global perspective. It features discussions about key questions on peace and conflict, the political economy of security and insecurity, militarism, and geopolitics, as they intersect with the processes of climate change, population movement, and the reorganization of global powers. In order to delve into these topics, we interview writers, researchers, activists and professionals from inside and outside the Security in Context network.

Emma hosts Rafia Zakaria, weekly columnist at The Baffler, to discuss her recent book Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption, on how feminist thought has been by the ideology of whiteness, allowing a feminism to surface that reinforces capitalism and the exploitation of women of color. Particularly focusing on the late 20th Century brand of girl boss and “lean in” feminism, Emma and Rafia dive into how “trickle-down feminism” acts to center platforms, policies, and ideas generated by and for white women, while silencing women of color as the white saviors know best. Rafia then dives into the important tradition of feminist critiques of race in the US, from Audre Lorde to Kimberle Crenshaw, that helped build the space for feminisms like hers, that critique whiteness and capitalism, also exploring what the absence of this space looks like, as we see in the UK's feminist tradition. They move onto a discussion of how the coverage and response to the withdrawal from Afghanistan have emphasized the problems of white feminism, as Zakaria reflects on the US' first (supposedly) “feminist” war and the divide between the wishes of the feminist leaders in the ear of the White House and the women actually on the ground in Afghanistan, and how this “feminist” war served to reinforce and inflame the gender apartheid in the region and drastically impact the well being and livelihood of countless women. After touching on the historical elements of white feminism, working back to the suffrage movement in the early 20th Century and the frequent attempts to exclude women of color from both the fight and the rights, she and Emma look at the state of white feminism today, and how it works to undermine, silence, and condescend to women of color while bolstering the savior complexes of white folks, and why the development of feminisms such as Black feminism and Islamic feminism serve to strengthen feminism and help it grow in strength and numbers. Emma also continues her coverage of Biden's crumbling agenda as the bipartisan vote looms with Pelosi and Schumer backing all the way down to a “public declaration” on reconciliation from Manchin, after months of him double backing on his previous public statements. And in the Fun Half: Brandon and Emma join Matt as he reflects on his debate with Michael Tracey and what his base gives away about him, while Hayden from Dallas brings his own perspective on Tracey's chat, and they admire the CBS Original “United States of Al” as it carries Aaron Sorkin's torch of “the white savior's wet-dream” political programming. Dave Rubin and Mayor Bronson of Anchorage remind us of the true morals of the Holocaust, from Greta “Adolf” Thunberg the authoritarian threat to taking “never again” to heart when it comes to masks, Jack from Birmingham talks about the international spread of US radical right culture and polarization, and Candace Owens and Greg Gutfeld take on the left's lack of compassion in wanting to house the houseless, plus, your calls and IMs!

Shakila Zareen Welcome to the #StillHere Podcast, Episode 06! “So, 429 days is NOT two years and some change!”, so sayeth Whitney Amanda is incapable of translating pounds to kilometers. Hmm… Send your feedback about the podcast to stillherepodcast1@gmail.com During Anastasia's story, Whitney mentioned that Anastasia didn't mention the exact details of what happened, and Whiteny said she “will tell the story for her”. This was not intended, and she apologizes. She misspoke, and did not mean to diminish Anastasia's experience in any way. Whitney tells a joke…(crickets...crickets…) Whitney and Amanda both LOVE ice cream cake. Amanda likes ice cream deserts better, sans cake. Whitney mentions the Gabby Petito case. While this is tragic, it's also interesting to highlight that people of color who go missing generally receive far less attention in the media than white people. This is something that has to change.

Columnist and activist Rafia Zakaria joins Kelly to discuss her new book, *Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption*. Rafia talks to Kelly about whether feminism is worth saving and what it would mean to de-center whiteness from feminism.
Upper-middle-class white women have long been heralded as “experts” on feminism. They have presided over multinational feminist organizations and written much of what we consider the feminist canon, espousing sexual liberation and satisfaction, LGBTQ inclusion, and racial solidarity, all while branding the language of the movement itself in whiteness and speaking over Black and Brown women in an effort to uphold privilege and perceived cultural superiority. An American Muslim woman, attorney, and political philosopher, Rafia Zakaria champions a reconstruction of feminism in Against White Feminism, centering women of color in this transformative overview and counter-manifesto to white feminism's global, long-standing affinity with colonial, patriarchal, and white supremacist ideals. _______________________________________________ Produced by Maddie Gobbo, Lance Morgan, & Michael Kowaleski.

We hear from the Screenwriter, director, producer and actor Michaela Coel about her first book ‘Misfits: A Personal Manifesto'. The book draws on topics covered in her MacTaggart lecture in which she spoke about dealing with trauma and the ways in which young creatives are exploited by the television industry. Sarah Gilbert the scientist who led the team that developed the Oxford Vaccine tells us why she doesn't think we all need booster covid jabs this winter and tells us about being named the 49th winner of the “Bold Woman” award which honours inspirational women with a track record of success. The Pakistani author Rafia Zakaria discusses her new book, Against White Feminism. She explains why she sees the issue of race as the biggest obstacle to true solidarity among women. We discuss Japan's Womenomics. A concept designed to get more women working and in positions of power. Women in Japan are less likely to be hired as full-time employees and on average earn almost 44 percent less than men. We hear from Cynthia Usui who coaches unemployed housewives in Japan and helps place them within the hospitality industry and Kathy Matsui who coined the term Womenomics in 1999 while working at investment bank Goldman Sachs. And the comedian Sophie Willan who won a BAFTA for best comedy writing, for the pilot episode of her BBC 2 comedy Alma's Not Normal. She's now got a 6 part series starting on Monday night. Drawn from her own experiences, she plays the central character Alma who grew up in an out of the care system in Bolton. Presenter: Chloe Tilley Producer: Rabeka Nurmahomed Editor: Beverley Purcell
Thanks to Covid, coughing in public has joined the ranks of socially-unacceptable behaviours. Anecdotally there seems to have been a decline in coughing in theatre audiences since Covid came on the scene. This suggests that loud, irritating throat clearances may not have been necessary physical responses to obstructions after all. Emma talks to Dr Kim Dienes from Swansea University about the social side of coughing and tips for suppressing that irritating tickle. Pakistani-American author Rafia Zakaria has written a new book called Against White Feminism. A critique of 'whiteness within feminism' she says feminism has become a brand, not a movement. She wants to 'take it back.' Working on behalf of domestic violence victims as a lawyer and human rights activist for years, she says race is the biggest obstacle to true solidarity among women. Rafia joins Emma to discuss. It is understood that the first female Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Cressida Dick, has been offered two more years in the role. Both the home secretary, Priti Patel, and the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, are said to support plans for her to continue to lead London's police force. But seven influential people who say they have been subjected to Met Police corruption and incompetence have signed an open letter in the Daily Mail today calling for her removal. Among the signatories were Baroness Doreen Lawrence, Lady Brittan and the former Conservative MP Harvey Proctor, whose home was raided in March 2015 by Operation Midland detectives, in response to false allegations of historic child abuse made by Carl Beech - who is now in prison for 18 years for perverting the course of justice and fraud. Emma asks Harvey why he wants Cressida Dick's resignation. There are 7.9 billion people living on the planet. But why is human population discussed so little when it comes to the climate crisis? That's a question listeners Sue and Martin want answers to, and that Tim Dyson, Emeritus Professor of Population Studies at the London School of Economics is going to help untangle. He talks to Emma about the facts behind global population growth, the trends in family size, and why having fewer children isn't going to help alleviate the immediate pressures of the climate crisis. Edie Eckhart is 11 years old, from Bridlington in Yorkshire and has cerebral palsy. Like a lot of other 11 year olds this September, she's starting at secondary school. Edie is the main character in a new children's book, ‘The Amazing Edie Eckhart' written by comedian Rosie Jones, who tells Emma why she wanted to create a young disabled heroine.

“It is not enough for alternative narratives of Black, Brown, and Native women simply to exist; they must actually influence the content and the course of the movement for gender parity. And before this call can happen, white women must reckon with just how much white privilege has influenced feminist movements and continues to influence the agenda of feminism today". - Rafia Zakaria Although we've moved to a bi-weekly schedule, I had to pop-in and share this BONUS episode with you featuring the author of the newly released book called Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption. In this episode, we have a great conversation on the many ways that feminism upholds white supremacy and why many Black and Brown women identify as Womanists instead. She shares her own stories and shares insight on how women of color can navigate toxic systems of oppression and maintain their sense of self and sanity. Purchase the book here!

Elite white women have branded feminism, promising an apolitical individual empowerment along with sexual liberation and satisfaction, LGBTQ inclusion, and racial solidarity. As Rafia Zakaria expertly argues in Against White Feminism: Notes on Disruption (W. W. Norton, 2021), those promises have been proven empty and white feminists have leant on their racial privilege and sense of cultural superiority. Drawing on her own experiences as an American Muslim woman, as well as an attorney working on behalf of immigrant women, Zakaria champions a reconstruction of feminism that forges true solidarity by bringing Black and brown voices and goals to the fore. Ranging from the savior complex of British feminist imperialists to the condescension of the white feminist-led "development industrial complex" and the conflation of sexual liberation as the "sum total of empowerment," Zakaria presents an eye-opening indictment of how whiteness has contributed to a feminist movement that solely serves the interests of upper middle-class white women.

One night in the summer of 2014, two teenage girls living in a remote village in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh went missing. Hours later, they were found dead and hanging from a tree in a mango orchard. A media frenzy ensued that propelled the case to the front pages of national newspapers and prime time cable news. It was quickly decided that this was another clear-cut case of rape and murder in India’s heartland. A haunting new book, The Good Girls: An Ordinary Killing, by the author Sonia Faleiro reveals that the truth, however, is far murkier. Sonia is Milan’s guest on the podcast this week and the two discuss the origins of The Good Girls, the notion of honor in contemporary Indian society, the pervasiveness of caste in the Hindi heartland, the troubled state of policing, and the battle Indian girls face even before leaving their homes. Parul Sehgal of the New York Times has this to say about The Good Girls: “‘The Good Girls’ is transfixing; it has the pacing and mood of a whodunit, but no clear reveal; Faleiro does not indict the cruelty or malice of any individual, nor any particular system. She indicts something even more common, and in its own way far more pernicious: a culture of indifference that allowed for the neglect of the girls in life and in death.” Episode notes:Parul Sehgal, “A Double Tragedy in India and the Search for Elusive Answers,” New York Times.Rafia Zakaria, “Death in the Mango Orchard,” The Baffler
Hello and welcome to Episode 24. This is Arjun.My head hurts. I feel like I’ve been in nonstop pain this entire year. Yes, it’s because of the pandemic, and we cannot forget the unmanageable political anxiety that continues to fester in Biden’s America. But on top of it all, the question that has prolonged this never-ending migraine is: How can I fix the lack of diversity in the media?Over the course of this podcast’s existence, we’ve presented this mind-melting noggin noodler to some of the most talented journalists of color in the industry. There were many answers, but there seemed to be one overarching sentiment: this is a dumb question and we shouldn’t be wasting our guests’ time with it.

The veil is a complex and unique object, one that holds personal and cultural significance and often prompts very passionate and even aggressive reactions. Author Rafia Zakaria is here to help us consider the veil from a range of perspectives, including her own. This episode takes a close look at the veil in relation to women, aesthetics, power, and identity, and is for anyone looking to join the conversation.

Tony Katz (http://twitter.com/tonykatz) gets a reply on Twitter from CNN contributor Rafia Zakaria and her thesis that Alex Jones is guilty of "hate speech," and that his speech is actually "domestic terrorism." Tony explains how hate speech doesn't exist, and how Zakaria's theory does not hold true. The FDA is looking to expand experimentation on mice, and has signed contracts for the very Orwellian-sounding, "fresh fetal tissue." Is this the US government promoting abortion? And the MSNBC-pushed, super-secret Nunes tapes are not secret...and not a scandal. Rep. Devin Nunes is caught on tape saying that if Democrats get control of the House, they will push to impeach President Trump. Seriously....who didn't know that?
Muslim women are often the focus of debate when it comes to public conversations about Islam. Much of this centers on feelings and assumptions surrounding an object, the veil. Rafia Zakaria, journalist and author, unravels the complex nexus of attitudes, policies, and histories revolving around this object in her fascinating new book, Veil (Bloomsbury Academic, 2017). She demonstrates how the object can serve as a moral delineator, a disciplinary measure, a signifier of goodness, or as a means to subvert or rebel social norms. Through personal narratives and detailed analysis of various social and political conditions Zakaria offers an engaging and nuanced assessment of the veil in the contemporary context. In our conversation we discussed notions of the exotic Orient, colonization, representation in photography and painting, prostitution, veiling in legal contexts, public aesthetics, violence, forms of feminism, contextual meaning-making, and much more. Kristian Petersen is an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Nebraska Omaha. He is the author of Interpreting Islam in China: Pilgrimage, Scripture, and Language in the Han Kitab (Oxford University Press, 2017). He is currently working on a monograph entitled The Cinematic Lives of Muslims, and is the editor of the forthcoming volumes Muslims in the Movies: A Global Anthology (ILEX Foundation) and New Approaches to Islam in Film (Routledge).

What makes a person “difficult”? Fiction writer, essayist, and activist Roxane Gay has been called “the brilliant girl-next-door: your best friend and your sharpest critic” by People magazine. She has authored the stunning novel ‘An Untamed State,' the powerhouse essay collection ‘Bad Feminist,' and now a new collection of stories, ‘Difficult Women,' where she casts her incisive gaze at issues of race, class and gender. Famed for both fearlessness and vulnerability on the page, she tackles issues that lie at the heart of body, identity, relationship and society. In conversation with Rafia Zakaria of The New Republic.
World Policy Institute — Former U.K. Prime Minster David Cameron, when discussing the possible radicalization of Muslim men, said that Muslim women could be a "moderating force" on their husbands. This week on World Policy On Air, Rafia Zakaria disputes this orientalist thinking and describes how jihadi groups' new recruitment tactics are changing views on women and Islam.

I boken The Upstairs Wife (2015) vever Rafia Zakaria sin egen familiehistorie inn i Pakistans brutale historie. Zakarias familie emigrerte fra India i 1960-årene. For den muslimske familien representerte Pakistan det lovede land, men under militærstyrets islamisering i 1980-årene ble landets lover endret, noe Zakarias tante smertelig fikk erfare.

On tonight's monthly South Asia spotlight, we interrogate the recent spate of murders of outspoken human rights activists and advocates in Pakistan and Bangladesh. In late April, noted human rights activist Sabeen Mahmud was brutally murdered. Bangladesh saw three outspoken bloggers and intellectual thinkers murdered in public spaces by Islamic fundamentalists. What does this mean? How do those of us in the west understand and engage with the disturbing tides of fundamentalism sweeping the South Asian subcontinent?
