'Der vorliegende Artikel diskutiert die Einflüsse von Black Feminism auf feministische Theoriebildung. Unter Black Feminism wird im Folgenden afrikanisch-amerikanischer Feminismus verstanden, wobei dessen Hauptkritik an 'weißer' feministischer Forschungspraxis an deren unreflektierter Ausgrenzung und Dominanz ansetzt. Dabei geht es den Black Feminists vor allem um die Vernachlässigung von Differenzen zwischen Frauen. Ihre Kritik führte seit Mitte der 80er-Jahre dazu, dass innerhalb feministischer Theoriebildung die Kategorie Geschlecht um die Kategorien Ethnizität, Klasse, Sexualität, u.a. erweitert werden musste. Die Debatte in der feministischen Wissenschaft bewegte sich damit über die Geschlechterdualität hinaus hin zu einer Diskussion um die Differenzen zwischen Frauen. Damit steht sie allerdings vor neuen, beinahe unlösbaren Problemen: Wenn nicht mehr von einem gemeinsamen Kollektiv 'Wir Frauen' die Rede sein kann, ist die 'Geschäftsgrundlage' des Feminismus gefährdet. Es werden entsprechende aktuelle Debatten, Strategien und Vorschläge innerhalb der amerikanischen feministischen Theoriebildung vorgestellt.' (Autorenreferat)

This volume follows eleven Black male teachers from an urban, predominantly Black school district to reveal a complex set of identity politics and power dynamics that complicate these teachers' relationships with students and fellow educators. It provides new and important insights into what it means to be a Black male teacher and suggests strategies for school districts, teacher preparation programs, researchers and other stakeholders to rethink why and how we recruit and train Black male teachers for urban K-12 classrooms.

This project focuses on Nikki Giovanni's history as a revolutionary female activist in The Black Arts Movement (BAM). The BAM was dedicated to advancing the livelihood of African-Americans through the arts. Nikki Giovanni recognized the tensions between being a revolutionary black woman and fitting society's conventional standard of women. This paper highlights the life of an activist and poet engaged in a social revolution while trying to sustain a private life. Through the discussion of various poems in Black Feeling Black Talk/ Black Judgement (1970), this study explores the conflict between gender issues, race relations, and politics. As Giovanni positions herself as a revolutionary poet, she addresses the challenges black women faced to define their own voice under oppressive forces.
