Inscribed within the continuing struggles of black women since the slave era, black feminism emerged publicly in the United States at the end of the 1960s. Unknown for many years, with few translated studies of it, today there is a growing interest in this movement. In fact, its pioneering actions and reflections on the imbrication of social relations (of sex, “race” and class) are particularly stimulating for thinking about racism and sexism (without neglecting class), which is a pressing issue in contemporary struggles.References
