| Summary: | "Black Feminist Constellations is a project that intervenes in how we understand Black women's experience across the Americas with a collection of essays, interviews, and conversations by and between scholars, activists, and artists from the Caribbean and, especially, South America. Through careful curation and deliberate assembly, the editors and contributors aim to doubly disrupt the status quo by centering radical Black women and knowledge from outside the academy. Smith and Leu explain, "The duality of racism and sexism rampant in the Latin American academy erases Black women from Latin American studies, and Spanish and Portuguese-speaking Black women from the global South have historically been erased from Black studies." The spirit of this collection is to highlight the erased, center the uncanonized, and examine at the overlooked intellectual work that Black women in the Global South have contributed to the Americas"-- |
