In Living a Feminist Life Sara Ahmed shows how Feminist theory is generated from everyday Life and the ordinary experiences of being a Feminist at home and at work.
The killjoy survival kit and killjoy manifesto, with which the book concludes, supply practical tools for how to live a Feminist life, thereby strengthening the ties between the inventive creation of Feminist theory and Living a Life that sustains it..
Ahmed also provides her most sustained commentary on the figure of the Feminist killjoy introduced in her earlier work while showing how feminists create inventive solutions-such as forming support systems-to survive the shattering experiences of facing the walls of racism and sexism.
Building on legacies of Feminist of color scholarship in particular, Ahmed offers a poetic and personal meditation on how feminists become estranged from worlds they critique-often by naming and calling attention to problems-and how feminists learn about worlds from their efforts to transform them.
