Black Feminist Existentialism

Basic Concepts:


  • Black women make meaning out of their own lives

 

  • Oppression is a condition, not a determinism

 

  • Due to racial and gendered oppression, black women live in a world absent of normality

 

  •  Black women resist the white negation of their gender and humanity through choice and responsibility

 

  • The choice of the oppressed exposes the oppressor

 

  • Themes of absurdity, freedom, choice, responsibility and angst are recurring
