Patricia Hill CollinsA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more.
In her interview with the Brazilian magazine Gênero e Número, Collins argues that intersectionality without a focus on social justice can perpetuate oppression, and that proponents of intersectionality must be willing to interrogate their own theoretical frameworks. In Black Feminist Thought, how does she connect her intersectional analysis with the goals of social justice?
Using examples from the text, discuss the dialectical relationship between oppression and activism. How does oppression give rise to activism, and vice versa?
Citing specific examples, discuss the parallels Collins draws between past and present oppressions, and past and present resistance to oppression.
