Invisible Women: Hunger, Poverty, Racism and Gender in the UK
Deirdre Woods
The United Kingdom (UK) is in the midst of a crisis: a widening gap between the haves and have-nots, austerity, a deepening of racism, islamophobia, homophobia and xenophobia, increasing far right extremism, entrenchment of corporate power, and neoliberal politics are an everyday reality. Brexit has plunged the UK into a crisis of uncertainty. The UK is mired in a poverty crisis, a welfare crisis, a housing crisis, a hunger crisis, and a human rights crisis. Amid these multiple crises, the impact on women of color remains invisible.
