Definition

  • Patricia Hill Collins's Black Feminist Thought: Knowledge, Consciousness, and the Politics of Empowerment, first published in 1990 by Routledge, explores the work and ideas of black women and their conscious pursuit of knowledge and empowerment outside a white patriarchal epistemology. Collins creates a common space for scholarly and everyday dialogue about the various paradigms, movements, and aesthetics concerning race, class, and gender oppression as they relate overall to the liberation of black women and black people.
