In Black Feminism Reimagined Jennifer C. Nash reframes black
feminism's engagement with intersectionality, often celebrated as
its primary intellectual and political contribution to feminist
theory. Charting the institutional history and contemporary uses of
intersectionality in the academy, Nash outlines how women's studies
has both elevated intersectionality to the discipline's primary
program-building initiative and cast intersectionality as a threat
to feminism's coherence. As intersectionality has become a central
feminist preoccupation, Nash argues that black feminism has been
marked by a single affect-defensiveness-manifested by efforts to
police intersectionality's usages and circulations. Nash contends
that only by letting go of this deeply alluring protectionist
stance, the desire to make property of knowledge, can black
feminists reimagine intellectual production in ways that unleash
black feminist theory's visionary world-making possibilities.
