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.

In Black Women, Identity, and Cultural Theory, Kevin Everod Quashie explores the metaphor of the "girl-friend" as a new way of understanding three central concepts of cultural studies: self, memory, and language. He considers how the work of writers such as Toni Morrison, Ama Ara Aidoo, Dionne Brand, photographer Lorna Simpson, and many others, inform debates over the concept of identity. Quashie argues that these authors and artists replace the notion of a stable, singular identity with the concept of the self developing in a process both communal and perpetually fluid, a relationship that functions in much the same way that an adult woman negotiates with her girlfriend(s). He suggests that memory itself is corporeal, a literal body that is crucial to the process of becoming. Quashie also explores the problem language poses for the black woman artist and her commitment to a mastery that neither colonizes nor excludes. The analysis throughout interacts with schools of thought such as psychoanalysis, postmodernism, and post-colonialism, but ultimately moves beyond these to propose a new cultural aesthetic, one that ultimately aims to center black women and their philosophies.
