Theorizing Black Feminisms outlines some of the crucial debates going on within contemporary Black feminist activity. In so doing it brings together a collection of some of the most exciting work by Black women scholars, celebrating Black women's agency and pragmatic activism.

In four sections - on `revising paradigms', `theory and action', `controlling our bodies', and `the language of identities', sixteen essays cover a range of diverse issues, including: * Theorizing race, class and gender in the new Black feminist scholarship * Women and collective action * Rape, HIV transmission, abortion and African-American women * Discouse, critique and identity: languages of the self Theorizing Black Feminisms is vital reading for anyone - activist, student, artist or scholar - interested in exploring the multidisciplinary possiblities of Black feminism. Exciting and innovative, the volume both reflects and intervenes in a rapidly expanding field.
