Politics of Black Women s Studies
For my first short paper I chose the section from Chapter 1 on the politics of Black women’s studies. I found this very interesting because women’s rights and achievements are something I feel everyone should be interested in for the simple reason that women haven’t always had very many rights, especially black women. This article begins by saying that, “Black women’s rights in a white man’s world is an act of political courage. ... Black men had to work for centuries to have rights in our society, let alone black women. I believe that the rights of Black women are still emerging even today. The book then states four issues that are important for consideration when talking about the politics of Black women’s studies.
