Yet it coopts its affect, form, and content, from racialized oppression and protest while directing meanness toward people in marginalized groups. Kim Hong Nguyen examines four types of white mean girl feminism prominent in North American popular culture: the bitch, the mean girl, the power couple, and the global mother. White feminists mime the anger, disempowerment, and resistance felt by people of color and other marginalized groups. Their performance allows them to pursue and claim a special place within established power structures, present as intellectually superior, advance their girl squads and their partners as part of a politics of solidarity and community, and position themselves as better, more enlightened masters than men. But, as Nguyen argues, the racialized meanness found across pop culture opens possibilities for building an intersectional feminist politics that rejects performative civility in favor of turning anger into liberation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages [103]-123) and index. 505 0 $a Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction: Feminist civility and the right to be mean -- Bitch feminism : blackfaced girlboss in feminist performative/performativity politics -- Mean girl feminism : gatekeeping as illegible rage -- Power couple feminism : gaslighting and re-empowering heteronormative aggression -- Global mother feminism : gatekeeping biopower and sovereignty -- Conclusion: Abolishing mean girl feminism. 650 0 $a White feminism $z North America. 650 0 $a Feminism and racism $z North America. 650 6 $a FeÌminisme blanc $z AmeÌrique du Nord. 650 7 $a Feminism and racism $2 fast 650 7 $a White feminism $2 fast 651 7 $a North America $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Nguyen, Kim Hong (Kim Hong Thanh). $t Mean girl feminism $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, 2024 $z 9780252055232 $w (DLC) 2023023193 830 0 $a Feminist media studies (University of Illinois (System).
