The author, Suriya Nayak, presents a close reading of Audre Lorde and other related scholars to demonstrate how the activism of Black feminist theory is concerned with issues central to radical critical thinking and practice, such as identity, alienation, trauma, loss, the position and constitution of individuals within relationships, the family, community and society. Nayak reveals how Black feminist theory seeks to address issues which are also a core concern of critical psychology, including individualism, essentialism and normalization. Her work grapples with several issues at the heart of key contemporary debates concerning methodology, identity, difference, race, and gender. Using a powerful line of argument, the book weaves these themes together to show how the activism of Black feminist theory in general, and the work of Audre Lorde in particular, can be used to effect social change in response to the damaging psychological impact of oppressive social constructions. Race, Gender, and the Activism of Black Feminist Theory will be of great interest to advanced students, researchers, political activist and practitioners in psychology, counselling, psychotherapy, mental health, social work and community development"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Womanism $z United States. 650 0 $a Feminist theory $z United States. 650 0 $a Feminism $z United States. 650 0 $a African American women. 830 0 $a Concepts for critical psychology. 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20150609013325.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=088314BC0E6D11E5BFCEA8CCDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
