White Tears/Brown Scars
Ruby Hamad
A confronting reality check for the privileged position of the white woman.
When white people cry foul it is often people of colour who suffer. White tears have a potency that silences racial minorities. White Tears/Brown Scars blows open the inconvenient truth that when it comes to race, white entitlement is too often masked by victimhood. Never is this more obvious than the dealings between women of colour and white women.
What happens when racism and sexism collide? Ruby Hamad provides some confronting answers.

“
Hamad’s razor-sharp observational skills and wide-ranging approach make this an essential addition to the modern feminist canon.”
Publisher's Weekly“
White Tears/Brown Scars is a stunning and thorough look at White womanhood that should be required reading for anyone who claims to be an intersectional feminist. Hamad’s controlled urgency makes the book an illuminating and poignant read.”
Rosa Boshier, The Washington Post“
In this endlessly readable debut, Ruby Hamad expertly illustrates the multitude of historical and contemporary ways in which white feminism has been used as a tool of white supremacy.”
Karla Strand, Ms. Magazine“
In breaking down examples from history, as well as from her own life as an Arab woman working in Australian media, Hamad offers a haunting but powerful reading of white feminism and its lasting impacts on marginalized communities.”
Time Magazine“
This book is an incredibly necessary and intelligent critique of mainstream feminism and an important validation for women of colour who have suffered in their interactions with white women.
”
Kara Nicholson, Readings“
Pick of the crop to come”
Melanie Kembry, The Saturday Age“
White Tears/Brown Scars is a powerful read that will benefit all readers, regardless of gender or race.”
Zoya Patel, Canberra Times
