Black Feminist Theories by Bakare-Yusuf, Bibi; Davies, Carole Boyce; Hobson, Janell;

Hosszú leírás:

An innovative contribution to the field of Black Feminist Studies, this landmark collection brings together the most influential historical and contemporary thinkers in Black feminist theories across transnational contexts.

Featuring ground-breaking new work alongside canonical essays from key thinkers, this book adopts a truly global approach to its subject. In doing so, it looks beyond North America to showcase a diverse range of continents and perspectives. The collection includes not only standard academic essays, but also vital statements, interviews, manifestoes, and creative work, which transmit and embody Black feminist thought.

The book is broken up into five carefully curated sections:
- Black Feminist Foundations
- Statements and Manifestos
- Cultures and Aesthetics
- Bodies, Genders, and Sexualities
- Black Feminist Futures

Timely and important, this is an indispensable resource for students and scholars of Black Studies, Women & Gender Studies and Black Feminist Studies, as well as more generally to American Studies, African Studies, Caribbean Studies, and African Diaspora Studies.
