White women and the privilege of solidarity


Houria Bouteldja gave this speech at the 4th International Congress of Islamic Feminism that took place in Madrid, in October 2010.

I would, first of all, like to thank the Junta Islamica Catalana for having organized this colloquium, which is a real breath of fresh air in a Europe that is shrivelling up in upon itself, wrought up in xenophobic debates and increasingly rejecting difference/alterity.
