![]() ![]() Today, many of the proponents and opponents of what you might describe as “intersectional” politics (particularly those who do not themselves come out of the long Black radical tradition, and whose political education and/or work has a basis primarily in the academy rather than in movements) often treat identity and struggle very differently than the revolutionary Black feminists of Combahee. The goal seems to be to clarify some current debates by creating a resource to allow a more robust understanding of the Combahee River Collective, whose famous statement from the 1970s is both a crucial document in the Black feminist tradition and also foundational to an increasingly common range of politics that are taken up by a much wider range of people and that draw strongly on Black feminism even while often drastically misreading and even erasing that heritage. ![]() A really great little book combining movement history and radical analysis. ![]()
