Abstract
ABSTRACT Black feminist politics have traditionally been theorized outside formal political institutions, necessitating a nuanced and capacious account of what Black feminist politics can be in formal political environments. Situating Black Feminist Politics from Kennedy to Trump in conversation with recent political changes, I explore the future of Black feminist politics in formal political institutions in an interview with Professor Duchess Harris. Ultimately, Harris recommends leaning into understanding Black women political elites as unique and incomparable to each other while also being attentive to how Black feminist politics may appear in formal political institutions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
