Black Feminist Thought
Black Feminist Thought: Knowledge, Consciousness, and the Politics of Empowerment | Patricia Hill Collins
3 posts | 6 read | 18 to read
In spite of the double burden of racial and gender discrimination, African-American women have developed a rich intellectual tradition that is not widely known. In Black Feminist Thought, Patricia Hill Collins explores the words and ideas of Black feminist intellectuals as well as those African-American women outside academe. She provides an interpretive framework for the work of such prominent Black feminist thinkers as Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alice Walker, and Audre Lorde. The result is a superbly crafted book that provides the first synthetic overview of Black feminist thought.

I read excerpts of this in college and finally read the whole thing, it is a thick read because the writing is done in an academic and factual manner but it is very worth the read as anything that examines race and feminism intersectionally is.

Scochrane26 I‘ve only read a couple of these, but several more are on my tbr. I‘ve read Ta-nehisi Coates, & he was eye-opening for me. 4y
TheBookHippie @Scochrane26 I agree with you on that. The Bluest Eye is a favorite of mine on the above list I‘ve read it a few times over the years. 4y
