Abstract
Black feminist thought is a collection of ideas, writings, and art that articulates a standpoint of and for black women of the African Diaspora. Black feminist thought describes black women as a unique group that exists in a “place” in US social relations where intersectional processes of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and sexual orientation shape black women's individual and collective consciousness, self‐definitions, and actions (Collins 1991, 1998). As a standpoint theory, black feminist thought conceptualizes identities as organic, fluid, interdependent, multiple, and dynamic socially constructed “locations” within historical context (hooks 1984; Collins 1998; Smith 1998; James & Sharply‐Whiting 2000). Black feminist thought is grounded in black women's historical experience with enslavement, anti‐lynching movements, segregation, Civil Rights and Black Power movements, sexual politics, capitalism, and patriarchy.
