Description:

African-American feminist thought, also called "womanism," is usually considered to be a coherent theory worldwide that uses experience as the arbitrator of Truth. This course will explore the development of this body of feminist theory by reading the "classics" of proto-womanist theory, from Angela Davis, Michelle Wallace, and Bonnie Hill Thorton, to its intellectual maturity in the works of Barbara Smith, Bell Hooks, Darlene Clark Hine, and Patricia Hill Collins in order to discuss the nature of African-American female political activism.
