Mi aspettavo che Donne, razza e classe fosse un libro molto teorico, invece mi sono trovata a leggere un saggio saldamente radicato nella storia statunitense e capace di parlare con estrema chiarezza della sua tesi, ovvero dell’intreccio di discriminazioni (di genere, razziale e di classe) subito dalle donne nere lavoratrici.

La chiarezza espositiva di Davis lascia pochi dubbi sull’esistenza di questa triplice discriminazione in capo alle donne nere lavoratrici: la sua analisi prende avvio dalla schiavitù e segue la storia delle rivendicazioni femministe (in primis, il diritto di voto) per denunciare la prospettiva unicamente bianca che ha caratterizzato il movimento suffragista e che ha finito per farne emergere i ragionamenti e la retorica razzista.

Pur essendo un saggio incentrato sulla storia degli USA, ci sono molte riflessioni applicabili anche all’Europa, per esempio quella riguardante il mito dello stupratore nero, tornata tristemente in auge con la crisi migratoria (poi non è chiaro perché dovremmo berci questa scemenza se, in quanto donne bianche, ci troviamo a essere “protette” da uomini che non esitano ad augurarci – o minacciarci proprio – lo stupro perché dissentiamo da loro e siamo chiaramente delle donnacce invece che Vere Donne™).

Molto interessante è anche la riflessione sul perché alcune battaglie tipicamente femministe, ed evidentemente riguardanti anche le donne nere, per lungo tempo non abbiano fatto presa tra i loro ranghi, come i diritti riproduttivi. In questo caso, invece di lamentarsi, è bene chiedersi: come mai? In questo caso, uno sguardo più attendo avrebbe notato che anni di sterilizzazioni forzate (a volte fatte addirittura all’insaputa delle vittime) non rendevano le donne nere così recettive nei confronti del diritto all’aborto.

Vi consiglio davvero tanto di leggere perché, sebbene sia un testo del 1981, la sua analisi e le questioni che solleva sono tutt’altro che risolte e può essere utile leggere un classico sull’argomento. ( )

Davis eloquently pinpoints the historical connections between sexism, racism, and economic inequality throughout America's struggle for gender equality. Chapter by chapter she dissects how those dehumanizing efforts have been a part of society: from antebellum America to the early 1980's. She highlights people who historically pointed out those intersections and rightfully should be heroes: like Frederick Douglass or W. E. B. Du Bois. Likewise, she casts a critical light on people like Margaret Sanger, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton--three women whose feminist ideas often took them down paths advocating racism or eugenics. Davis is best when summarizing history (as at times her pullquotes aren't that compelling). And I wish more of her caustic wit and personality would shine. Still, this book will knock you on your ass. It's as relevant today as it was when written. ( )

A good summary history of the ways the 3 topics in the title have intersected in American history - their struggles and the conflicts between them (predominantly focusing on gender and race). Of course it doesn't cover everything or in deep detail but it's written in a very clear, easy to read style with minimal jargon that gives an excellent introduction to the problems faced by eg black women in the suffrage movement. It's definitely really interesting and has lots of new stuff even if you're very familiar with this area. ( )

Mulheres, raça e classe, de Angela Davis, é uma obra fundamental para se entender as nuances das opressões. Começar o livro tratando da escravidão e de seus efeitos, da forma pela qual a mulher negra foi desumanizada, nos dá a dimensão da impossibilidade de se pensar um projeto de nação que desconsidere a centralidade da questão racial, já que as sociedades escravocratas foram fundadas no racismo. Além disso, a autora mostra a necessidade da não hierarquização das opressões, ou seja, o quanto é preciso considerar a intersecção de raça, classe e gênero para possibilitar um novo modelo de sociedade. Davis apresenta o debate sobre o abolicionismo penal como imprescindível para o enfrentamento do racismo institucional.

Required reading.

Be prepared for a challenging read. Not because of difficult writing, but because of the dark, complicated topics Davis brings to light. Here is so much history that was not part of my education and I am grateful to be schooled by the thoughtful work of Dr. Davis.

In light of current national news, here's one passage that rings true today even though it was published over 35 years ago:

"Racism has always served as a provocation to rape, and the white women of the United States have necessarily suffered from the ricochet fire of these attacks. This is one of the many ways in which racism nourishes sexism, causing white women to be indirectly victimized by the special oppression aimed at their sisters of color." 177 ( )

When the influential scholar Ulrich B. Phillips declared in 1918 that slavery in the Old South had impressed upon African savages and their native-born descendants the glorious stamp of civilization, he set the stage for a long and passionate debate.
