Ebook: Black feminist thought: Knowledge, consciousness, and the politics of empowerment

Finding her own voice and sharing with us the voices of other African-American
women, Collins brilliantly explicates our unique standpoint. As a Black feminist,
Co ll ins traverses both old and new territories. She explores the familiar themes of
oppression, family, work, and activism and also examines new areas of cultural
thinking about Black men and women in the 199Os. Furthermore Collins gently
challenges white feminist dominance of feminist theory and cultures an appreciation
for diversity in positions reflecting different race, class, and gender junctures.
Her work is a model for how academics can make their work accessible to the
wider public.
