The constructed agent : postmodernism, white feminism, and black male agency -- 2. Historicizing agency in the black feminist tradition : a phenomenology of the black female body -- 3. Worrying the feminist line -- 4. Millennials : black women forming and transforming agency -- 5. Troubling the water : black feminist theory and the hegemony of thought -- 6. Conclusion : on the grayness of gray.This book explores the generational divide over questions related to agency. While traditional black feminists tend to see new images of black women negatively as a retreat and an impediment to progress, younger black women tend to embrace these new images and see them in a positive light. After carefully setting up this divide, this book suggests that a more complex understanding of black feminist agency needs to be developed, one that is adapted to the complexities faced by the younger generation in today's world.Routledge research in gender and society ;56.African American womenSocial conditionsAfrican American feministsFeminismUnited StatesAfrican American womenSocial conditions.African American feminists.Feminism305.48/896073305.48896Davidson Maria del Guadalupe.982047MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910165048503321Black women, agency, and the new black feminism2241215UNINA
