Abstract

A collection of classic texts and new black feminist scholarship. Exploring postmodernist themes of gendered and racialized exclusion, "black" identity and social and cultural difference, this volume provides an overview of black feminism in Britain as it has developed since the mid 1970s. Among the topics covered are: white feminism; political activism; "mixed race" identity; class differences; cultural hybridity; autobiography; black beauty; religious fundamentalism; national belonging; lesbian identity; postcolonial space and popular culture.
