The Xenofeminist Manifesto: A Politics for Alienation (2018)Laboria Cuboniks
Chapter 10
This chapter of The Xenofeminist Manifesto articulates xenofeminism's commitment to gender abolitionism, emphasizing the dismantling of gender as a power structure rather than erasing sexuate diversity. It argues for a reworked, intersectional universal that avoids Eurocentric and exclusionary tendencies, enabling coalitional politics that can address class, race, and gender oppression simultaneously. Xenofeminism is presented as a mutable, open-source political platform that embraces iterative refinement and ethical reasoning to build equitable social orders.
