WGSS 66.09 Black Consciousness and Black Feminisms

This seminar seeks to decenter mainstream (what bell hooks calls “imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist, [heteronormative], patriarchal”) thinking to understand the world differently.  Reading primary and scholarly texts from the US, Caribbean, and Africa about the Black Consciousness Movement and black feminisms, we will trace the evolution of thinking about race, gender, sexuality and their interrelationships through time and across space. Assignments include weekly reading response papers and an independent research project.
