Black feminist theory, developed within and outside the academy, addresses the ways race, gender, class, and other social, cultural, and political markers are interconnected, focusing especially on the ways Black communities throughout the African Diaspora are particularly oppressed systemically and systematically. While we can locate such intersectional theories and politics in dated intellectual work produced as early as the 18th century, the term itself was introduced when Kimberlé Crenshaw published “Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex: A Black Feminist Critique of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory, and Antiracist Politics” in The University of Chicago Legal Forum in 1989. Here, Crenshaw examines “a problematic consequence of the tendency to treat race and gender as mutually exclusive categories of experience and analysis [which was and still is] dominant in antidiscrimination policy and that is also reflected in feminist theory and antiracist politics.” Relying primarily on this guiding principle, then, we will study Black feminist examinations of Black women’s relationships with Black men, motherhood, Black queer communities, work inside and outside of the home, religion and spirituality, and other concerns.
