A landmark contribution to the field of Black Feminist Studies, this book brings together the most influential historical and contemporary thinkers in global Black feminist theory, making it an indispensable resource for students and scholars of Black Studies, Women & Gender Studies and Black Feminist Studies alike.
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.
The Handbook Black Feminist Theories is a magnificent compilation of Black feminist poetry, fiction, prose and artwork. Taken together, the contributors illuminate the creative eruption of Black feminist work at multiple junctures across time and place, challenging US-Centric hegemony and revealing Black Feminisms to be complex, transnational discourses that emerge from the complex and shifting genealogies of Black women’s lives. Essential reading for all those interested in how the world is changed by the radical epistemic undercurrents emerging at the intersections of oppression, the Handbook provides a powerful and capacious archive of resistance that challenges us to think and to teach more expansively about liberatory praxis and the meaning of diaspora. It offers a powerful and welcome resource for transdisciplinary teachers and researchers in African and diaspora studies, feminist, gender and women’s studies, and across the humanities and social science disciplines. * Amina Mama, Professor of Gender, Sexuality & Women's Studies, University of California, Davis, USA *
