Author Mikki Kendall Tells Newsy About Her New Book, 'Hood Feminism'

Mikky Kendall's book, Hood Feminism, questions whether mainstream feminist movements truly advocate for all women, particularly marginalized groups like Black women. The book highlights issues such as police violence, where mainstream feminist voices have been absent. Kendall criticizes the lack of support from these movements for communities of color, despite their stated intersectional goals. She suggests that feminist movements should be more inclusive by supporting causes beyond those affecting White women, such as Black Lives Matter, immigration, and economic disparities.
