Description

More than thirty years have passed since the publication of All the Women are White, All the Blacks are Men, But Some of Us are Brave. Given the growth of women's and gender studies in the last thirty-plus years, this updated and responsive collection expands upon this transformation of consciousness through multiracial feminist perspectives. The contributors here reflect on transnational issues as diverse as intimate partner violence, the prison industrial complex, social media, inclusive pedagogies, transgender identities, and (post) digital futures. This volume provides scholars, activists, and students with critical tools that can help them decenter whiteness and other power structures while repositioning marginalized groups at the center of analysis.

This edited volume could not have been assembled without the inspiration of the original editors of All the Women Are White, All the Blacks Are Men, But Some of Us Are Brave , including Barbara Smith (whose conversations with me guided the latter part of this process), Patricia Bell Scott, and Akasha Gloria Hull, as well as an old friend and colleague, Ime A. S. Kerlee, who started this dialogue with me since our time at Emory University. I am also grateful to Tamika Carey, for reviewing early drafts, and the editors of The Feminist Wire —Tamura Lomax, Monica Casper, and Darnell Moore—who recommended and contributed important voices relating to social media and social movements emerging from #BlackLivesMatter. I am especially thankful to all the contributors who kept the faith and stayed committed to the fruition of this project.
Introduction
Janell Hobson
More than thirty years have passed since editors Akasha Gloria T. Hull, Patricia Bell Scott, and Barbara Smith published All the Women Are White, All the Blacks Are Men, but Some of Us Are Brave : Black Women’s Studies through the independent publisher The Feminist Press. This occurred just two years after Barbara Smith cofounded the independent Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press. Realizing back then that neither of the established programs in women’s studies and black studies would include the contributions of black women and their intellectual traditions in any meaningful way, black feminist scholar-activists created their own spaces for naming, asserting, and politicizing their radical existence. That such an independent-minded and radical act would be remembered today through this twenty-first-century edited volume and homage—published this time via a university press—is a testament to its tremendous impact on academia and especially on the diverse field of women’s and gender studies.
In their introduction to this groundbreaking collection, Hull and Smith argued for the need for analyses that intersected gender, race, and class and asserted a political feminist stance that would reposition black women within academic research, academic curricula, and community engagement. Such analyses, they reasoned, would necessarily transform our knowledge of and resistance to multiple forms of oppression. As they suggest, “Only a feminist, pro-woman perspective that acknowledges the reality of sexual oppression in the lives of Black women, as well as the oppression of race and class, will make Black Women’s Studies the transformer of consciousness it needs to be.” 1
Given the growth of women’s and gender studies in the last thirty-plus years, this updated and responsive collection will reflect upon this transformation of consciousness through multiracial feminist perspectives. Indeed, the fields of women’s and gender studies and other academic disciplines have been critically shaped by intersectional analyses, transnational feminist perspectives, action research and activist development, and the rearticulation of gender and sexuality in queer studies—all critical interventions that such early publications helped foster. Even with such growth and progress, concerns still remain as to how inclusive our feminist theories and practices have become in recognizing and complicating analyses of women and gender across races, ethnicities,
