This volume brings together ten key essays in the development of black feminism. The selections reflect the literary, social, and political critiques that mark this form of feminist and antiracist thought as unique and transformative. Addressing key themes within cultural and social theory, such as the intersections of gender, sex, race, class, and ideology, the analyses encourage critical thinking about language, culture, and democracy. Organized into two parts, "Literary Theory" and "Social and Political Theory," this Reader explores issues of community, identity, justice, and the marginalization of African American and Caribbean women in literature, society, and political movements. With contributions from male feminists, Marxists, legal scholars and literary, cultural and social theorists, The Black Feminist Reader illustrates both the impressive depth and expansive range of contemporary black feminism. Contributors include: Barbara Christian, Toni Morrison, Hortense J. Spillers, Michael Awkward, Sylvia Wynter, bell hooks, Angela Y. Davis, Patricia Hill Collins, KimberleU Crenshaw and Joy James.
