Black Feminist Thought Patricia Hill Collins' book is an influential study of the intellectual tradition of Black feminists. It offers an in-depth analysis of the double discrimination based on race and gender, and highlights the contributions of key Black feminist thinkers.
This book explores the insights of prominent Black feminist intellectuals such as Angela Davis, bell hooks, Alice Walker, and Audre Lorde. Collins combines academic and cultural sources—from fiction to music and oral history—thus formulating a powerful framework for social justice.
This Routledge Classics edition, including a new preface by the author, replaces the edition published for the thirtieth anniversary and thereby affirms the enduring importance of Black Feminist Thought for contemporary debates on Black feminism and inequality.
