Black Women's Politics/Cultural Expression - Special Issue Inter/Sections
The study of social and cultural movements has seldom included the cultural expression of women - particularly black women. This special issue examines how women of the black diaspora use various means of communication to articulate their position within a particular social or cultural movement. Specifically, the volume is a collection of interdisciplinary essays that address the role of black women as producers of revolutionary film, talk radio, television, folk art, music, literature, fashion, etc. Of central concern is the meaning(s) of their texts and the role that they play within the context of a particular movement. The issue will include a wide variety of social/cultural movements from various cultures and historical periods. Articles that address the audiences for these texts are especially encouraged.
