- Description
- The Womanist Reader anthologizes the major works of womanist scholarship. Charting the course of womanist theory from its genesis as Alice Walker's African-American feminism, through Chikwenye Okonjo Ogunyemi's African womanism and Clenora Hudson-Weems' Africana womanism, to its present-day expression as a global, anti-oppressionist perspective rooted in the praxis of everyday women of color, this interdisciplinary reader traces the rich and diverse history of a quarter century of womanist thought. The book featurs selections from over a dozen disciplines by top womanist scholars from around the world, plus several critiques of womanism. It also contains an extensive bibliography of womanist sources.
