Beschreibung:
In Black Feminist Thought , originally published in 1990, Patricia Hill Collins explores the words and ideas of black feminist intellectuals and writers. She provides an interpretive framework for the work of a range of prominent thinkers and draws from fiction, poetry, music and oral history, to provide a superbly crafted and revolutionary book that gave the first synthetic overview of black feminist thought and its canon.
