Black Feminist Anthropology, 25th Anniversary Edition

Theory, Politics, Praxis, and Poetics

Beschreibung

Black Feminist Anthropology: Theory, Politics, Praxis and Poetics established a new canon that guaranteed the voices, theorizing, and experiences of Black Feminist anthropologists could shine out loud in ways that 25 years later are still “healing,” “life-saving,” and an affirmation of these transformative and decolonized contributions. It is both an archive and a legacy for the next generation.
