What would it take to end violence against women of color?

In Color of Violence, edited by University of Michigan professors Andrea Smith and Nadine Naber, more than 30 visionaries from around the globe call on both racial justice and anti-violence movements to collaboratively “develop strategies that challenge the criminal justice system and […] also provide safety for survivors of sexual and domestic violence” (223). Engaging the intersectional nature of violence against women of color, Color of Violence both expands the definition of violence against women and places women of color at the center of a movement to end oppression in all its forms. And unlike most examinations of violence against women that recast them as “victims,” this path breaking collection of essays highlights the work of survivors and activists in creating strategies of resistance.

In the tradition of This Bridge Called My Back, Color of Violence is an urgent, bold, and essential intervention in the war against women of color, their communities, and, ultimately, us all. Contributors to the anthology include: Andrea Smith, Beth Richie, Julia Sudbury, Janelle White, Nirmala Erevelles, Sarah Deer, Dorothy Roberts, Loretta Ross, Andrea Smith, Nadine Naber, Haunani Kay Trask, Dana Erekat, Nadia Tadiar, Eman Desouky, Lina Baroudi,
