Rather than giving you a book or a list of books (though this one here would be a good one to read<\/a>), I\u2019d do something better, create a list of Euro folks who regularly comment on books, media and intellectual production.<\/p>\n

Since you are in Belgium but I am unsure whether you prefer English, Flemish or French, then I\u2019ll do the next best thing, direct you to people who cover all three languages!<\/p>\n

Again, a couple of caveats:\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. I am only including People of Color who are based in Europe in this list not because there isn\u2019t any white person doing good work but because I want to center our voices in relating our experiences and multitude of differences as well as similarities. As I\u2019ve said many times, I am very interested in \u201ca choral, shared history\u201d and I hope this list would reflect that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. This is not a complete list and it is certainly not meant to encompass everyone doing awesome work. These suggestions are based on interactions I have through this space, Twitter and\/or people I know personally. As I said yesterday on\u00a0the Latina feminist reader<\/a>, I am very happy to continue expanding this list with other suggestions. I am focusing this list on feminism of color\/ womanism and migrant experiences\u00a0only<\/em>. I insist, this doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t other people doing great work in Europe, offering political analysis or commentary. It\u2019d be impossible to list them all so, instead, I am only centering the specifics of the question received: gender, politics and migration\/ race.<\/p>\n

For French feminism of color and awesome commentary, head to Ms. Dreydful\u2019s blog<\/a>. Also, if you are on Twitter, I strongly recommend you follow her<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For Flemish\/ Dutch language, I would recommend\u00a0Tamghrabit\u2019s blog on this here Tumblr<\/a>. She is also on Twitter<\/a> and again, if you use the platform, I strongly recommend you follow her. Incidentally, she is the editor of Alert Magazine which publishes in both English and Flemish\/Dutch. Link here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another Netherlands based Tumblr I would highly recommend is Queerintersectional<\/a>. I won\u2019t reveal anything about this person\u2019s identity because I don\u2019t know how comfortable they are with details of their lives being on the internet (a topic we actually never discussed) but suffice to say, I consider this person a dear friend and their politics are deep cutting, sharp and smart as hell.<\/p>\n

Mieke\u2019s blog here, Samblabelanda<\/a> is a project to document her Indonesian heritage and family history within the Dutch colonial past. And a link to Twitter<\/a>. It\u2019s mostly in English but with a strong focus on Dutch history.<\/p>\n

Sara Salem, who is Egyptian\/Dutch blogs in English<\/a> about colonialism, post colonialism, race and Marxism. Here\u2019s a link to her Twitter<\/a> where she is very active sharing news and commentary.<\/p>\n

If you can read Dutch, head over to Roet in het Eten<\/a>, Quinsy Gario\u2019s blog for the eponymous radio show (which you can also listen to online<\/a>, the team regularly posts soundcloud files, – they haven\u2019t yet uploaded the show I was a guest at a few weeks ago when they do, I\u2019ll share a link so that you can all listen to me raging in Dutch). Also, if you are on Twitter, follow Quinsy Gario there<\/a>, he regularly shares info about events, shows, conferences, etc on his stream. Roet in het Eten is also a great place to read regularly because they post links to other blogs and media in the Dutch language.<\/p>\n

For English language (British based), I strongly recommend the Black Feminists blog<\/a>. If you are on Twitter, you can follow them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A must read, Sara Ahmed\u2019s Feminist Killjoys blog<\/a>. She is London based and one of the most prominent intellectual voices within European feminism. Her Twitter is also a must follow<\/a> for those who use the platform.<\/p>\n

Another favorite of mine is\u00a0Reni Eddo-Lodge. Her blog can be found here<\/a>. Again, she is very active (and awesome) on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On this here Tumblr, \u201cThe \u201cRight\u201d kind of Brown\u201d<\/a> with commentary about race, disability and social justice from the UK. And\u00a0a link to follow on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This here Tumblr<\/a>\u00a0and The Body Narratives<\/a> by Hana Riaz who you should also\u00a0follow on Twitter<\/a>. She writes a lot about self care and love, two topics we should hear more about every day and she\u2019s involved in some great projects about self image.<\/p>\n

Bonus Euro Women of Color on Twitter:<\/p>\n

Judeinlondon<\/a>, as her name suggests, London based. She shares links and commentary on current events and media and she always has sharp observations about culture and politics.<\/p>\n

Ylva Habel<\/a>, Stockholm based academic who shares her experiences and insights on issues pertaining to People of Color in Sweden.<\/p>\n

Aniqah<\/a>, a London based\u00a0Queer WoC feminist Muslim journalist who regularly shares news and commentary.<\/p>\n

Carol Roper<\/a>, UK based, decoloniality, radical Black history, general awesomeness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
