(I know, I know, I’m hilarious.)
I have a new piece up at Global Comment called Floods in Australia… but what about the others? It’s about the disparity in the international media response around the floods in Queensland and those in South Africa, the Philippines and Brazil. I didn’t cover this in the piece because, when I thought it up, I didn’t know this was the case – yes, I know, quite fitting in with the premise of my piece – but there is also flooding in Sri Lanka. More than one million people have been displaced and at least twenty-three people have died.
Feministe guest blogger Queen Emily has just recently taken over as editor-in-chief at Global Comment, which was previously run by fellow Feministe guest bloggers Natalia Antonova and deputy editor Sarah Jaffe. So, Feministe readers, it should be quite your cup of tea. Head on over and check out a great progressive publication, do.
Also, a reminder that I’m busy talking women, books and feminist literary icons over at Bitch Magazine. I’ve got about a week and a half left of writing Iconography, and I’ve been loving it.
