Summary:
In Dark Feminism Reimagined, Jennifer C. Nash reframes dark feminism’s engagement with intersectionality, often celebrated as its main intellectual and political contribution to feminist theory. Charting the institutional background and contemporary uses of intersectionality in the academy, Nash outlines how women’s studies has both elevated intersectionality to the discipline’s major program-building effort and solid intersectionality being a danger to feminism’s coherence. As intersectionality has turned into a central feminist preoccupation, Nash argues that dark feminism has been marked by a single affect-defensiveness-manifested by attempts to law enforcement intersectionality’s usages and circulations. Nash contends that only by letting go of this deeply alluring protectionist stance, the desire to make property of understanding, can black feminists reimagine intellectual production with techniques that unleash black feminist theory’s visionary world-making opportunities.
