Intersections On the Border Crossings of Black Women's Standpoints

Abstract

In our local communities people are suffering from exploitation, oppression, and social injustice. Placesfor sharing one another's differences are scarce. Therefore, we are facing a crisis where hearts and mindsremain closed to pains and joys of social diversity. All the while, multiple standpoints shape people'sexperiences in daily lives within our local communities. How we choose to value or de-value thesestandpoints determines individual oppression or privilege. Thus, creating spaces for border crossingexperiences on the feminist terrain promote new understandings of our histories and futures as womenliving in interlocking systems of oppression.
