Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"In the ardently thought-provoking and often stirring Power Interrupted, Falcón, a sociologist and assistant professor of Latin American and Latino Studies, sets out to reveal how feminist activists of color ‘advocate for a more comprehensive approach to understanding racism at the UN level’ by offering a candid and, at times, caustic critique of Western feminism as practiced within the UN."
