Lecture (Sept 11): “Abolish Property: the Challenge of Black Feminist Desire,” Sabine Broeck, University of Bremen, Germany

Avery Research Center, 6:00 pm. Dr. Sabine Broeck discusses how Black feminism figured prominently in controversial debates after the 1960s between African-American female post-civil rights-movement activist intellectuals and their male opponents in both Black leftist and Black nationalist organizations. She also discusses how powerful Black feminist public voices made the racist undertones of white feminism more visible. Broeck recalls the force of these earlier interventions, and looks at their relevance in current Black feminist debates.
