Starting from the question “Who cleans the world?”, this book examines feminist struggles in the context of a violent and brutal counter-revolution. This issue prompted a strike by black and brown women who clean the Gare du Nord train station in Paris. This book examines the roles of what we call civilizational feminism in the text, viewed as a special strategy of the current counter-revolution. This feminism borrows the vocabulary and goals of the colonial civilizing mission, modernizing the politics that Frantz Fanon summed up in the sentence: “Let’s win over the women and the rest will follow.” Decolonial feminism accepts the existence of other feminisms; it does not want to become a theory, but to facilitate cross-border and international alliances.
