Though Kendall is not Catholic, Hood Feminism is an exercise in Catholic Social Teaching, as Kendall clearly identifies the problem for her readers, judges the state of the systems and social structures that are causing the issues, and then suggests action. The analytical pieces read as narrative, and Kendall packs so much information into these short chapters that I found myself going back over the details and statistics again and again. Almost every chapter has an example from Kendall’s own experience as a woman of color, contextualized with accompanying social analysis. Kendall reminds her readers, as prophets do, that our liberation is wrapped up in the liberation of others. As a white Catholic feminist, reading Hood Feminism was not only a practice in humility, but also in spirituality and social justice.
