From Post-Intersectionality to Black Decolonial Feminism

<p>In this accessible and yet challenging work Shirley Anne Tate engages with race and gender intersectionality connecting through to affect theory to develop a Black decolonial feminist analysis of global anti-Blackness. </p><p>Through the focus on skin Tate provides a groundwork of historical context and theoretical framing to engage more contemporary examples of racist constructions of Blackness and Black bodies. Examining the history of intersectionality including its present ‘post-intersectionality’ the book continues intersectionality’s racialized gender critique by developing a Black decolonial feminist approach to cultural readings of Black skin’s consumption racism within ‘body beauty institutions’ (e.g. modelling advertising beauty pageants) and cultural representations as well as the affects which keep anti-Blackness in play.</p><p>This book is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students in gender studies sociology and media studies.</p>
