In this course students will review the theoretical texts by important Black feminists like Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells (advocating for the abolition of slavery), Rosa Parks, Ella Baker, Angela Davis (Civil Rights/Black Power Movement), Patricia Hill Collins and bell hooks (representational politics). We will explore how black feminists incorporate Marxism, Black Nationalism and intersectionality into black feminist theories and activist practices as tools for examining how racism, gender (oppression) and sexuality are related in Black women’s lives.
