Intersections On the Border Crossings of Black Women’s Standpoints

Abstract

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