In Black Feminist Thought, Patricia Hill Collins explores the words and ideas of Black feminist intellectuals as well as those African-American women outside academe. She provides an interpretive framework for the work of such prominent Black feminist thinkers as Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alice Walker, and Audre Lorde. The result is a superbly crafted book that provides the first synthetic overview of Black feminist thought" http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/353598.Black_Feminist_Thought Book reviews: http://clementinemorrigan.com/2012/01/10/a-reflection-on-patricia-hill-collins-defining-black-feminist-thought/ http://blogs.stlawu.edu/gss290fall2011/2011/09/16/conceptualizing-knowledge-in-black-feminist-thought-by-patricia-hill-collins/ To facilitate discussion, we'll have these ground rules: -Everyone has the right to contribute to the discussion -Refrain from personal attacks, criticise the idea and not the person -Everyone is welcome to attend regardless of age, gender, race, class, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious belief, disability, membership of the travelling community, marital status or family status.
