| 520 | |a The author traces the history and themes of black women's studies through three main periods of development: through the 19th century, the early 20th century, and from the 1960s to the present. As a formal academic enterprise in colleges and universities, black women's studies had its beginnings in the late 1960s; however, the foundational texts and the thinkers central to the field date mainly from the late nineteenth century and comprise intellectuals, lecturers, activists, and speakers such as Anna Julia Cooper, Mary Church Terrell, Charlotte Forten Grimk, ̌Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Sojourner Truth, the author explains. In order to research more deeply the genesis of formations of space and power for black women, many scholars in the field have focused on the relationship between cultural images of black women and their experience of enslavement. The overarching themes of the nineteenth century continued in very different ways in the twentieth century, when many more writers would argue that race was as central to the black woman's condition as was gender. Rooks overviews themes in black women's studies, including enslavement and stereotype; black nationalism and class issues; feminism and black nationalism; interiority, cultural theory, and black womanism; literary criticism and cultural studies, and representation and black women's cultural studies. Following the essay, a bibliography of recommended reading, a chronology of events from 1619 to 2002, and a glossary are presented. | ||
