If feminism is about social change, white feminism—a feminism of assimilation, of gentle reformand of strengthening the institutions that are instrumental to economic exploitation and whitesupremacy, of ignorance and appropriation of the work of feminists of colour—is an oxymoron.(p. 361)In closing, Western feminism is simply another form of local knowledge that is limited by its privilegesand position in the global community. In order to work effectively in for the future of the developmentfield, feminism needs to allow for more competing and disparate voices among women of all race, class,economic, social, and cultural backgrounds.63
