Theorizing Black Feminisms outlines some of the crucial debates going on within contemporary Black feminist activity. In doing so it brings together a collection of some of the most exciting work by Black women scholars around. It encompasses a wide range of diverse subjects. And it refuses to be limited by notions of disciplinary boundaries or divisions between theory and practice. Theorizing Black Feminism combines essays on literature, sociology, history, political science, anthropology, and art, amongst others. As such it will be vital reading for anyone - activist, student, artist or scholar - interested in exploring the multidisciplinary possibilities of Black feminisms. Most importantly each essay in the colume begins from the premise that Black women are not simply victims of various oppressions. They are also, visionary and pragmativ agents of change.
