Ear to the Pavement show

Summary: Episode 24 is part two of Allison's conversation with writer and activist Yasmin Nair, about White Feminism, and about two books on the topic: "The Trouble With White Women" by Kyla Schuller, and "Against White Feminism" by Rafia Zakaria. This episode zeroes in on these authors' treatment of the phenomenon of the White female Trump voter as a touchstone for contemporary intersectional feminist analysis.
