Why it’s on the list: Hamad’s argument that white women’s tears have historically functioned as a weapon, and that mainstream feminism has repeatedly traded away women of color to keep its own gains.

Where I saw it: Recommended in a BookTok video by Carrie (@carriereadsbooks) that Kyle saved to his Apple Note “Books To Read” — his own note on the list: books to prepare for a Trump presidency. Video: https://www.tiktok.com/@carriereadsbooks/video/7434519243615472927
