Uses two dimensions of black feminist standpoint epistemology to investigate black political economy. It is suggested that centering on black women's experiences & analyzing those experiences via intersectional paradigms fosters rethinking the significance of family within gender, sexuality, race, class, & nation. Also addressed is how these new views of family might inform gendered analyses of black political economy. 13 References. Adapted from the source document.

The continuing failure of the Labour Party to nominate black can didates for Parliament has led to the demand by some of its black members for special 'Black Sections' to represent black interests. The suggestion has been denounced as `repellent' by the Labour leadership, and as 'divisive of the class' by a section of the Left. On the eve of the Labour Party Conference, the Campaign Against Racism and Fascism asked A. Sivanandan for a race/class perspective on the subject. The in terview which follows was taken from Searchlight, October 1985.

Yet rates of environmental participation were found to be significantly lower for Blacks, even after controlling for SES and other variables. (Abstract amended)
