Black Feminist Thought is an iconic book. The fact that it is still in print twenty-five years after its initial publication is testament to the value of the arguments and the quality of the analysis. It has been both a scholarly beacon for researchers working through shared ideas and experiences, and an intellectual grounding from which further critical work has been enabled and more voices brought into conversation. Its influence ranges across disciplinary and geographical boundaries and dismantles conventional hierarchies in the process. The production of knowledge is always for some purpose and, as scholars, it is imperative that we are as straightforward and honest about those purposes as is Patricia Hill Collins. We must hope that we can be as effective as her in our own work in terms of communicating its purpose, politics and, crucially, its analytical import
