Deconstructing Feminism: Yasmin Nair on The Right to Sex




Ear to the Pavement show

Summary: In episode 25, the third installment in our Deconstructing Feminism series, Allison and author and activist Yasmin Nair discuss "The Right to Sex" by Amia Srinivasan, situating it in relation to Kyla Schuller's "The Trouble With White Women" and Rafia Zakaria's "Against White Feminism," books discussed in the series' previous two episodes. Throughout the discussion, Nair continually touches on issues of hierarchy and deference in the publishing world, arguing that an awareness of such dynamics is important in any feminist analysis.
