Few urban critters are more reviled than the hipster. They are notoriously difficult to define, and yet we know one when we see one. No wonder: they were among the global cultural phenomena that ushered in the 21st century. They have become a bulwark of mainstream culture, cultural commodity, status, butt of all jokes and ready-made meme.But frightening as it is to imagine, for more than a century hipsters have been lurking among us. Defined by their appearances and the cloud of meaning attached to them-the cool vanguard of gentrification, the personification of capitalism with a conscience-hipsters are all looks, and these looks are a visual timeline to America's past and present.Underlining this timeline is the pattern of American popular culture's love/hate/theft relationship with Black culture. Yet the pattern of recycling has reached a chilling point: the 21st century hipster made all possible past fads into new trends, including and especially the old uncool. InDecolonize Hipsters, Grgory Pierrot gives us a field guide to the phenomenon, a symptom and vanguard of the wave of aggressive white supremacist sentiment now oozing from around the globe.

Offers a decolonial feminist update to earlier books critiquing the wellness industry and “the power of positive thinking.” Examines the ways in which self-care marketers often leverage the power of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” sloganeering to further their products and profits.Offers an accessible account of why, from a decolonizing perspective, care and wellness cannot be bought or sold by individuals. These transactions instead amount to nothing more than an attempt to withstand increasingly toxic social, political, economic, and ecological environments, and do not support real human thriving.For the audience of Barbara Ehrenreich
