Black Feminist Theories: Transnational Approaches

Join NYU's Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality for a book talk with editors Angelique Nixon, Carole Boyce Davies, and Christen Smith on Black Feminist Theories: Transnational Approaches (https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/black-feminist-theories-9781350446038/). An innovative contribution to the field of Black Feminist Studies, this landmark collection brings together the most influential historical and contemporary thinkers in Black feminist theories across transnational contexts. Featuring ground-breaking new work alongside canonical essays from key thinkers, this book adopts a truly global approach to its subject. In doing so, it looks beyond North America to showcase a diverse range of continents and perspectives. The collection includes not only standard academic essays, but also vital statements, interviews, manifestoes, and creative work, which transmit and embody Black feminist thought. The book is broken up into five carefully curated sections: Black Feminist Foundations Statements and Manifestos Cultures and Aesthetics Bodies, Genders, and Sexualities Black Feminist Futures Timely and important, this is an indispensable resource for students and scholars of Black Studies, Women & Gender Studies, and Black Feminist Studies, as well as more generally to American Studies, African Studies, Caribbean Studies, and African Diaspora Studies. This event is co-sponsored by NYU's Center for the Study of Africa and the African Diaspora. (https://csaad.nyu.edu/)NYU campus access guidelines: Registration is required.
