Pluto Press To Exist is to Resist: Black Feminism in Europe - Pluto Press

Explore the lived realities of Black feminism and Afrofeminism through this essential collection from Pluto Press. This book brings together a diverse group of activists, artists, and scholars of colour to examine how these movements are practiced across Europe today. By looking at different social positions in various countries, the contributors map out how people organise and mobilise to imagine a new Black feminist Europe. The text examines the complex experience of being constructed as 'Others' within a racialised and hierarchical continent. It looks at how gender, class, sexuality, and legal status shape identity and agency. Readers will gain insight into the dual experience of being invisible - often presumed to be absent from European societies - and hyper-visible - often assumed to be passive. This work provides a necessary perspective on political activism and social science within the European context.
