Black Feminism Reimagined: After Intersectionality Audiobook (Free)

In Dark Feminism Reimagined, Jennifer C. Nash reframes dark feminism’s engagement with intersectionality, often celebrated as its primary intellectual and politics contribution to feminist theory. Charting the institutional history and modern uses of intersectionality in the academy, Nash outlines how women’s studies has both raised intersectionality to the discipline’s primary program-building initiative and cast intersectionality being a risk to feminism’s coherence. As intersectionality has turned into a central feminist preoccupation, Nash argues that black feminism continues to be marked by an individual affect-defensiveness-manifested by initiatives to law enforcement intersectionality’s usages and circulations. Nash contends that just by letting go of this deeply alluring protectionist stance, the desire to make property of understanding, can black feminists reimagine intellectual creation with techniques that unleash black feminist theory’s visionary world-making options.
