On Imperial and Neoliberal Feminism | Conversations with Zillah Eisenstein By Suchitra Vijayan

Zillah Eisenstein is one of the foremost political theorists and activists of our time. Her groundbreaking book “The Female Body and the Law” has been re-issued. In this conversation, we return to questions that have occupied her remarkable scholarship –the intimate relationship between neoliberal imperial politics, white supremacy, misogyny, and racism. The Polis Project’s Suchitra Vijayan spoke to Zillah Eisenstein on the day of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified at the Brett Kavanaugh’s hearing. The conversation returned to Anita Hill, nature of gendered racism and misogyny, what it means to think and resist in the age of Trump and the future trajectories of feminist solidarity and resistance.
