Cautiously Hopeful: Metafeminist Practices in Canada.

"Cautiously Hopeful: Metafeminist Practices in Canada" by Marie Carrière is a book that explores the internal and external plurality of feminism in Canada. Carrière examines major debates and currents in metafeminist writings and practices, focusing on intersectionality, alliances, affect theory, ethics of care, and feminism's own internal differences. The book also includes an in-depth examination of key literary writings, highlighting the feminist concerns that inform and shape them. Carrière advocates for an experimental writing style that challenges academic conventions and makes more viable engagements with contemporary literary works. While the book has been praised for its insights, there are some critiques regarding its ambiguous and contradictory analysis of feminism, as well as its limited engagement with feminist activism in Canada and the absence of discussions on class and capitalism. Overall, the book contributes to feminist possibilities for social change and deserves attention and engagement. [Extracted from the article]
