A major anthology that illuminates historical and contemporary solidarities between Black and Asian feminists.
A collaborative project between Black Women Radicals and the Asian American Feminist Collective, We Are Each Other's Liberation envisions a cross-racial and internationalist politics that explicitly addresses solidarity between Black and Asian feminists. Bringing together organizers, artists, journalists, poets, novelists, and more, this collection introduces readers to new ways of understanding and reflecting on race and feminism.
Drawing out lessons from the revolutionary work of movement forebearers—including the Combahee River Collective, Claudia Jones, Grace Lee Boggs, Yuri Kochiyama, and Third World Women’s Alliance as well as struggles today—We Are Each Other’s Liberation offers an urgent call for the just future we might build together.

“A powerful collection that puts past, present, and theory in conversation, We Are Each Other's Liberation urges us to re-examine Black and Asian community dynamics through the lens of woman of color feminisms. The gift that this book gives us is a guide for how to think about power—how we wield it, how it is used against us, how we can use it to oppose those who are out to destroy us. We Are Each Other’s Liberation is a gathering of essential answers to the question of where we go from here.”
—Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, author of The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred
