Black Feminist Thoughts

In this course we will study the development and materialization of Black feminist theories and ideologies within historical, social, political, and cultural contexts through the discussion of literary texts, theoretical and historical essays, and visual arts. This course will map feminist theory and practice as a heterogeneous field of knowledge encompassing multiple streams of gender- and race-cognizant articulation and praxis as developed by Caribbean, African, Afro Latina, and Black British feminists across the Black Atlantic and African Diaspora.
