Maria Del Guadalupe Davidson

Black Women, Agency, and the New Black Feminism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the generational divide over questions related to agency. While traditional black feminists tend to see new images of black women negatively as a retreat and an impediment to progress, younger black women tend to embrace these new images and see them in a positive light. After carefully setting up this divide, this book suggests that a more complex understanding of black feminist agency needs to be developed, one that is adapted to the complexities faced by the younger generation in today's world.
