Womanist AIDS Activism in the United States: "It's Who We Are" is
an in-depth exploration of AIDS advocacy work among Black women.
HIV/AIDS has had a disproportionate impact on Black women. In
addition to high infection and mortality rates, they are likely to
be responsible for the caretaking of family, friends, and community
members with HIV. Angelique Harris and Omar Mushtaq conducted
interviews with 36 activists from across the nation to examine the
ways in which race, gender, and identity influence the motivations
and approaches behind their work. The authors use womanism - an
epistemological framework that centers the world views of women of
color - to better situate this activism within a larger
sociocultural and historical context. They also argue that womanism
better encapsulates the experiences of Black women than feminism or
Black feminism. The authors provide an in-depth analysis of
womanism and propose how it can be applied more broadly in
examinations of community engagement among women of color,
specifically Black women.
