The Issue Is 'Ism

This book first appeared in the 1983 Issue 16 of Fireweed, a Canadian feminist quarterly. In these pages women of colour speak about their lives for the first time in Canadian Feminist literature. They touch on racism, sexism, classism, imperialism and other 'isms. Contributors include Himani Bannerji, Claire Harris, Nila Gupta, Sylvia Hamilton, Prabha Khosla, Cecilia Green, Claire Preito and many others. This powerful collection includes essays, short stories, poems, photographs, illustrations and graphics by Black women, Asian women and Native women. Sisters from the Philippines and Central America also speak out. The issues the address are relevant to women of colour the world over.
