Black Feminism and Continental Philosophy in dialogue. A range of
themes—race and gender, sexuality, otherness, sisterhood, and
agency—run throughout this collection, and the chapters constitute a
collective discourse at the intersection of Black feminist thought and
continental philosophy, converging on a similar set of questions and
concerns. These convergences are not random or forced, but are in many
ways natural and necessary: the same issues of agency, identity,
alienation, and power inevitably are addressed by both camps. Never
before has a group of scholars worked together to examine the
resources these two traditions can offer one another. By bringing the
relationship between these two critical fields of thought to the
forefront, the book will encourage scholars to engage in new dialogues
about how each can inform the other. If contemporary philosophy is
troubled by the fact that it can be too limited, too closed, too
white, too male, then this groundbreaking book confronts and
challenges these problems. Maria del Guadalupe Davidson is Assistant
Professor of African and African-American Studies, and Adjunct
Assistant Professor of Women and Gender Studies at the University of
Oklahoma. She is coeditor (with George Yancy) of Critical Perspectives
on bell hooks. Kathryn T. Gines is Assistant Professor of Philosophy
at Penn State University and Founding Director of the Collegium of
Black Women Philosophers. Donna-Dale L. Marcano is Assistant Professor
of Philosophy at Trinity College.
