The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master's House (Paperback, 2018) No rating

From the self-described 'black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet', these soaring, urgent essays on the power …

If our history has taught us anything, it is that the action for change directed only against the external conditions of our oppressions is not enough. In order to be whole, we must recognize the despair oppression plants within each of us - that thin persistent voice that says our efforts are useless, it will never change, so why bother, accept it. And we must fight that inserted piece of self-destruction that lives and flourishes like a poison inside of us, unexamined until it makes us turn upon ourselves in each other. But we can put our finger down upon that loathing buried deep within each one of us and see who it encourages us to despise, and we can lessen its potency by the knowledge of our real connectedness, arcing across our differences.

As women, we have been taught either to ignore ur differences, or view them as causes for separation and suspicion rather as forces for change. Without community there is no liberation, only the most vulnerable and temporary armistice between an individual and her oppression. But community must not mean a shedding of our differences, nor the pathetic pretence that these differences do not exist.

Le mythe de l'entrepreneur (Hardcover, Français language, Zones) No rating

Elon Musk et Jeff Bezos aujourd’hui, Steve Jobs et Bill Gates hier, Thomas Edison et …

Le mythe de l'entrepreneur s'inscrit dans un imaginaire politique qui postule une égalité potentielle et effective entre tous les individus. Chacun peut concourir au marché et se révéler au monde. La justice sociale s'accomplit à travers une égalité des chances comprise dans la situation de concurrence généralisée. [...] Le mythe de l'entrepreneur est porteur d'une mystique innéiste, profondément antisociologique. Les explications individualistes sont tenues pour vraies a priori ; le monde semble transparent, animé par des volontés et des intentions délibérées. Chacun peut vivre dans l'«illusion d'être propriétaire de ses qualités ».
