Abstract

The article focuses on Liza Taylor's book, "Feminism in Coalition: Thinking with US Women of Color Feminism," which explores the evolution and strategies of coalition-building among US Women of Color feminists since the 1970s and 1980s. Taylor identifies three key aspects of successful intersectional coalitions: coalitional identity, coalitional consciousness, and coalitional scholarship, emphasizing the importance of shared political commitments to combat oppression. The book also analyzes the 2017 Women’s March on Washington as a case study, highlighting both its successes and shortcomings in fostering inclusive dialogue and intersectional activism. It serves as a resource for graduate-level research in political theory, social justice activism, and feminist studies, offering insights and recommendations for future coalitional politics.
