Description
Black Feminism Reimagined After Intersectionality by Jennifer C. Nash explores how black feminism has engaged with intersectionality, a concept often celebrated as its primary intellectual and political contribution to feminist theory. Nash examines the institutional history of intersectionality in academia and its contemporary uses, highlighting how women's studies has both elevated it and cast it as a threat to feminism's coherence. Nash argues that black feminists have been marked by an affective defensiveness, manifesting as efforts to police intersectionality's usage and circulation. She contends that only by letting go of this protective stance can black feminists reimagine intellectual production in ways that unleash the visionary possibilities of black feminist theory. By reframing black feminism's relationship with intersectionality, Nash offers a nuanced analysis of how black feminist theory can be developed and used to create new worlds of knowledge.
