WGSS 210 Black Women, Gender, and Feminism(s)

An interdisciplinary lens is used to examine Black women's experiences with sexism, colorism, domesticity, sexuality, immigration, body politics, and violence. Black women from the African Diaspora (Cape Verdean, Caribbean, Afro Latina, and Black American) show how their experiences transcend national and societal boundaries, challenging common assumptions of black womanhood.
