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 contemporary Black women scholars, celebrating Black women's agency and pragmatic activism. The volume encompasses a wide range of diverse subjects, refusing to be limited by notions of disciplinary boundaries or divisions between theory and practice. Essays on literature, sociology, history, political science, anthropology and art, are included, making the collection vital reading for anyone - activist, student, artist or scholar - interested in exploring the multidisciplinary possibilities of Black feminisms. An exciting and innovative book which both reflects and intervenes in a rapidly growing field.
