BLACK FEMINISM MOVEMENT: AN INHERENTLY PRECIOUS ARTICULATION

Abstract

Feminism is an artistic movement and conviction for social, economic and political equality for women. The defense of women has been there way back centuries and became a literary sub-genre. On the other hand, Black Feminism emerged and grown phenomenally as Black women are inherently valuable. They obsessively believe in that liberation is a necessity in wholesome but not as an adjunct to somebody else. Black Feminism in comparison to other groups like whites is different because Black females’ oppressions based on sexism, heterosexism, classism and racism, is due to the lack of basic human rights provided to black women besides additional struggles that other groups don’t necessarily experience. Therefore, Black feminism is aimed for an inclusive rather than an exclusive movement, as it is the fight on a whole range of oppressions. Black feminism does not confine to only Africa but predominantly in America where their plights are still elevated because they had to struggle with white supremacy of white woman also. Hence, the present paper lime lights on the plights and predicaments of Black females and how the whole female community forwarded a technical movement through their literary texts and philosophical thoughts. The paper also enriches how the Black women are fundamentally different from that of white women practically and theoretically.
