The vibes are off in many European left activist spaces. Why are many women of colour made to feel alien and other in spaces that are supposed to be open, welcoming and sometimes revolutionary? This book analyses how the visual, sonic, somatic and emotional politics of different activist spaces across Europe work to exclude and ostracise women of colour activists. It also explores a range of resistance work women of colour employ to build new forms of solidarity.
