摘要

谁能忘记瑞秋Doležal-the非洲研究讲师兼全国有色人种协进会斯波坎分会主席，她多年来一直以浅肤色黑人女性的形象示人，但在2015年被曝光“出生在白人父母的白人家庭”。通过研究Doležal之后的争议，本文从多方面考虑了她构成了一个典型的坏女权主义对象，即使她的“不在场证明”(更像是一种辩护)借鉴了学术女权主义对种族和种族身份的社会建构主义理论的反本质主义投资。在这样做的过程中，我对宽恕或拯救Doležal免受批判的谴责并不感兴趣，而是在探索思考雷切尔Doležal的女权主义分析问题。

Feminism and the Impasse of Whiteness; or, Who's Afraid of Rachel Doležal?

Who can forget Rachel Doležal—the Africana Studies instructor and head of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP who was outed in 2015 as “born white to white parents” after years of presenting herself as a light-skinned Black woman. By taking up the controversies that have followed Doležal, this paper considers the multifaceted ways that she constitutes a quintessential bad feminist object, even as her “alibi” (which is more a defense) draws on academic feminism's own anti-essentialist investment in social constructionist theories of race and racial identity. In doing so, I am not interested in condoning or rescuing Doležal from critical condemnation but in exploring the problem of thinking about Rachel Doležal for feminist analysis.
