Terrone Feminism: An Alliance of the Margins

The source describes Femminismo Terrone, a book by Claudia Fauzia and Valentina Amenta published in 2024, which presents an intersectional feminist perspective rooted in Southern Italy. The work challenges mainstream Italian feminism by focusing on the experiences of women and queer individuals in the South and the discrimination they face based on geography, class, and gender. It reclaims the term "terrone" as a point of political resistance and pride, moving beyond its use as an insult. The authors propose a "terrone feminism" that integrates queer, gender, and decolonial theories, valuing knowledge from the South as a form of resistance and an active political subject. The book is presented as a political and cultural manifesto that finds strength and hope in marginality.
