Abstract

Class Gender Religion Strucural Racism
This alternative narrative tells the story of an upper-middle-class White feminist scholar, Lili. Lili builds her feminist knowledge by pursuing an equality ideal situated at the crossroads of gender, race, class and religion. Married to a Black Muslim man from West Africa and mother of three mixed-race sons, Lili's story shows the ambiguities of her own anti-racist struggles. Her story illustrates how being anti-racist does not mean that one is free from racism, even in the case of a White woman who has carried her mix-raced children in her womb. This is a call for humility and self-awareness when entering in anti-racism acts.
