Theorizing Black Feminisms - The Visionary Pragmatism of Black Women (Hardcover)

"Theorizing Black Feminisms" outlines some of the crucial debates going on among Black feminists today. In doing so it brings together a collection of some of the most exciting work by Black women scholars.
The book encompasses a wide range of diverse subjects and refuses to be limited by notions of disciplinary boundaries or divisions between theory and practice. "Theorizing Black Feminisms" combines essays on literature, sociology, history, political science, anthropology, and art. As such it will be vital reading for anyone--activist, student, artist or scholar--interested in exploring the multidisciplinary possibilities for Black feminism.
Most importantly, each essay in the volume begins with the assumption that Black women are not simply victims of various oppressions. Rather, they are visionary and pragmatic agents of change.
