Feminist futures in the time of emergency

Description

The article argues that, in the wake of greater regulatory controls of border-crossings due to Covid-19, feminists of colour stand in solidarity with the stranger in our midst (e.g. more are kept out, locked up and unwanted during Covid-19) as they know first-hand what it means to live a life of deprivation even as citizens. Feminist theologians and in particular, eco-theologians insist on an intersectional ethos that inclusively embraces not only a “culture of dialogue as the path” but also a web of inter-relationality (including inter-species solidarity) where one is hurt if an-other is hurt. Radical love is not gender neutral or colour blind and confronts injustices in the home, in our communities and in the streets.
