Black Feminism ABSTRACT Black women's literature is of significance for Black feminist literary criticism for its focus on women's experiences of racism-sexism. The intersection of racism and sexism doubly victimizes the African- American women especially the slaves as they try to break out of this two-fold oppression. While racism decreed Black women would be enslaved, it was sexism that determined the lot of women harsher. Nanny living in the slavery era was oppressed as a worker on her white master's plantation, raped victim and then as a mammy working for a white family. These three images of Nanny stands for her racist-sexist oppression while purporting to her archetypal slave narrative. Indeed, her narrative is that of the many Black slave women in history and of their plight.
