“Count it all joy”
In her introduction to Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Angela Davis notes that the abolitionist tradition often harboured a “gendered framework” that defined “black freedom” in terms of the “suppression of black womanhood”. As such, Davis charges us with the task of “develop[ing] a framework that foregrounds both the complexities of gendered violence under slavery and possible gendered strategies for freedom”. In this paper, I engage…
Black Feminist Figures
In both popular culture and academic disciplines, feminism, especially feminisms of women of color, is increasing in popularity. But with that popularity comes certain challenges. It would seem that, due to its popularity, Black feminism has gained a nominal invite to professional philosophy’s (largely) white school social affair. But it has been invited by hosts who don’t quite know what to do with Black feminism once it’s arrived
The Politics of Black Joy
In the antebellum period, slave owners weaponized southern Black joy to argue for enslavement while abolitionists wielded sorrow by emphasizing racial oppression. Both arguments were so effective that a political uneasiness on the subject still lingers. Lindsey Stewart wades into these uncomfortable waters by developing Zora Neale Hurston’s contributions to political theory and philosophy of race by introducing the politics of joy as a refusal of…
An Inside Thing to Live by”
“Granny midwives” often based their authority to practice midwifery on the spiritual traditions of rootwork or conjure passed down by the foremothers who trained them. However, granny midwives were compelled to give up their conjure-infused methods of birthing if they wanted to become licensed (that is, to get a “permit”) or be authorized by the state to continue their practice of midwifery. In response, some granny midwives refused to recognize …
That's Why I Do What I Do
Alice Walker claims that the "advantageous heritage" of Black southern life is replete with intellectual meat for thinking and writing. How might the insights found in this "advantageous heritage" enrich our discussions of Black feminism in philosophy? Taking stock of this "advantageous heritage" is no mean feat in the discipline of philosophy as it sits at the intersection of two subfields that are already marginalized: Black feminist philosophy…
Tell 'Em Boy Bye
Although she was intellectually outcasted during her lifetime, Zora Neale Hurston and her “controversial” politics have been reclaimed by feminists (especially black feminists) since Alice Walker’s 1975 “In Search of Zora Neale Hurston,” first published in Ms. Magazine. In what Kristie Dotson calls a deliberate “act of inheritance,” I contribute to existing black feminist scholarship on the theme of self-respect in Hurston’s work by analyzing its…
Work the Root
In “Post‐Liberation Feminism,” Ladelle McWhorter raises the question of what practices will be helpful to further feminist goals if we are no longer in a state of domination, but are still oppressed. McWhorter finds resources in Michel Foucault's concept of “practices of freedom” to begin to answer this question. I build upon McWhorter's insight while recalling Angela Davis's Blues Legacies and Black Feminism : namely, that sexual love, as concei…
Adult Correctional Treatment
Adult correctional treatment is effective in reducing criminal recidivism. Meta-analyses of adult and juvenile correctional interventions demonstrate that juvenile interventions are more effective than those designed for adults. Behavioral/cognitive treatments, on average, produce larger effects than other treatments. Analyses of specific treatment domains indicate effective interventions. Cognitive skills training seems successful with adult pro…
