Onnesha Roychoudhuri: The Marginalized Majority with Jessica Valenti

Like Rebecca Solnit’s Hope in the Dark and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’sWe Should All Be Feminists, The Marginalized Majority delivers a plan to not just survive but also push back in Trump’s America, from progressive journalist Onnesha Roychoudhuri.

From the Civil Rights Movement to the Women’s March, Saturday Night Live to the mainstream media, Roychoudhuri holds the myths about our disenfranchisement up to the light, illuminating narratives from history that reveal we have far more power than we’re often led to believe. With both clear-eyed hope and electrifying power, she examines our ideas about what’s possible, and what’s necessary—opening up space for action, new realities, and, ultimately, survival. Now, Roychoudhuri urges us, is the time to fight like the majority we already are.

Onnesha Roychoudhuri is a Brooklyn-based writer, editor, and educator. Her work has appeared in publications such as Rolling Stone, n+1, the Virginia Quarterly Review, Boston Review, The Nation, The American Prospect, Salon, and Mother Jones. She is the co-founder of Speech/Act, and organization working at the intersection of storytelling and social justice.

Jessica Valenti is the author of multiple books on feminism, politics and culture, most recently the New York Times bestselling memoir Sex Object. She is also the founder of Feministing.com. Her writing has appeared in publications like The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Nation, and Ms. magazine. She is currently a columnist at the Guardian US. Jessica lives in Brooklyn with her husband and daughter.
