Synopsis
The author (whose affiliations are not stated) discusses how knowledge can foster African-American women's empowerment. In line with her own deepened understanding of the issues since the first edition, she emphasizes Black feminist thought's purpose in fostering both empowerment and conditions of social justice, provides a more complex analysis of oppression, and places greater stress on the connections between knowledge and power relations. New themes include the nation as a form of oppression, as well as a transnational, global dimension. Topics are organized under the headings of the social construction of Black feminist thought, core themes, and Black feminism, knowledge, and power. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

April 22, 2004: As a UC - African American Studies alum, this book has aided in my academic career. This book allowed me to think critically about the various themes in the book that present themselves in my own life. All black feminist and womanist student should have this book, and other pieces by Dr. Collins in thier library. A DEFINITE MUST HAVE AND MUST READ!!!!
