About this audiobook
In spite of the double burden of racial and gender discrimination, African-American women have developed a rich intellectual tradition that is not widely known. In Black Feminist Thought, originally published in 1990, Patricia Hill Collins set out to explore the words and ideas of Black feminist intellectuals and writers, both within the academy and without. Here Collins provides an interpretive framework for the work of such prominent Black feminist thinkers as Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alice Walker, and Audre Lorde. Drawing from fiction, poetry, music and oral history, the result is a superbly crafted and revolutionary book that provided the first synthetic overview of Black feminist thought and its canon.

Reviews for Black Feminist Thought
8 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is my second time reading this. A really great foundational text of Black feminisms that needs to be updated to include Black trans women, trans feminine people, a wider swath of the queer community instead of only cis lesbian women, as well as Black disabled people. As Patricia Hill Collins herself notes, BFT can’t possibly cover everything, but there is more work that BFT can do here.
