Definition
- Black feminist epistemology characterizes U.S. Black women's ways of knowing as distinctive and significant for developing theories of the social world and for attaining social justice for all oppressed groups. This perspective stresses the importance of Black women's social locations for how they create and validate knowledge, claiming that their shared experiences can foster group knowledge that can inform political action.
