WMST428L

Cross-listed with AASP498C. Built loosely around Dr. Brittney Cooper's 2018 Black feminist manifesto Eloquent Rage this course looks at black women's anger as a generative force for social change. Through reading Cooper's book and the intersectional black feminists texts that inspired it, this course will explore black women's sexuality and family life, black popular culture, black women's politics, black women's bodily autonomy, and th e simmering rage which under girds many black women's experiences in the United States.
