Representations of Black Women in the Media: The Damnation of Black Womanhood is packed with substantial empirical and theoretical material. The text is organized into six short chapters flanked by an introduction and conclusion. Author Marquita M. Gammage combines Africana womanism, Black feminism, and Media Studies in her analysis of visual media representations and the subsequent valuations of Black women and womanhood. The Introduction begins with a brief discussion of the damnation of Black womanhood in Western societies. Gammage summarizes for the reader W.E.B. DuBois’s view that the damnation of womanhood was tied to the devaluation of motherhood resulting from Western societies’ reductionist understanding of femininity. From the outset, Gammage charges that contemporary media are powerful and effective sites through which to perpetuate, recycle, and promote an “anti-Black woman agenda” thereby securing the continued dehumanization of Black people (1). Echoing DuBois, she argues that this agenda is informed by Western conceptions of femininity and the sexism and racism birthed through slavery to which Black women have been the primary targets. She highlights how few studies have charted the significance of this imagery of and for Black women and emphasizes that previous studies have also neglected culturally congruent analyses. Gammage outlines an Africana womanist theoretical methodology, presents the definitional contours of “damnation,” and closes with an overview of each of the six chapters. Gammage’s approach to Black womanhood privileges wholeness and is rooted in an Africana womanist conceptual framework, informed by the work of Clenora Hudson-Weems, Delores Aldridge, Pamela Yaa Asantewa Reed, and Nah Dove.

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the leaders of the quarter-century-old Women With A Vision (WWAV) collective launched a coordinated campaign to expose and challenge the criminalization of Black cisgender and transgender women working in New Orleans’ street-based economies. For the simple act of trading sex for money to survive, hundreds were convicted of a felony-level Crime Against Nature by Solicitation (CANS) and forced to register as sex offenders for periods of fifteen years to life. After five years of organizing, WWAV successfully overturned the statute, thereby securing the removal of more than 800 people from the Louisiana sex offender registry list. This article brings a fine-grained analysis to WWAV’s process of organizing against CANS in order to trace the making of this criminalization crisis and to clarify the terrain of the organization’s victory. It argues that WWAV organized through a distinct southern Black feminist tradition in order to disrupt the use of CANS as a technology of post-Katrina predatory policing. By refusing their erasure from the city of their birth, WWAV staff and participants not only rendered visible the mundane terror of targeted criminalization against Black women; they also opened new horizons for Black feminist struggle and collective liberation.
卡特里娜飓风过后，有25年历史的“有远见的妇女”(Women With A Vision, WWAV)组织的领导人发起了一场协调一致的运动，揭露并挑战在新奥尔良街头经济中工作的黑人顺性和变性妇女被定罪的现象。为了赚钱而进行性交易的简单行为，数百人被判犯有拉客危害自然罪(CANS)，并被迫登记为性犯罪者，刑期为15年至终身监禁。经过五年的组织，WWAV成功地推翻了该法令，从而确保了800多人从路易斯安那州的性犯罪者名单中删除。本文对WWAV组织反对can的过程进行了细致的分析，以追踪这场定罪危机的产生，并澄清该组织胜利的领域。它认为，WWAV通过一个独特的南方黑人女权主义传统组织起来，目的是破坏can作为卡特里娜飓风后掠夺性警务技术的使用。WWAV的工作人员和参与者拒绝将她们从她们出生的城市中抹去，他们不仅让针对黑人妇女的针对性刑事定罪的世俗恐怖变得清晰可见;她们也为黑人女权主义斗争和集体解放开辟了新的视野。

This article examines “insurgency” as a tradition within Black women’s activism in the United States. Connecting contemporary insurgent acts of Black women activists to their Black feminist foremothers, I explore a distinct genealogy of Black women’s radical activism. Anchored in intersectional praxes, committed to combating interlocking oppression, and warring against multiple jeopardy, Black women insurgents of the 21st century build on the work of Black women defiantly and unapologetically fighting against white heteropatriarchal capitalist supremacy. Using recent highly visible acts of Black women freedom fighters, I seek to reclaim “insurgency” as a mode of Black feminist resistance with historical precedence and contemporary relevance. Black women’s insurgent activism plays an integral role in the Movement for Black Lives. The depths of Black women’s commitment to insurgency is a propelling force in Black freedom dreams.

Reproductive justice activists have dynamically used the concept of intersectionality as a source of empowerment to propel one of the most important shifts in reproductive politics in recent history. In the tradition of the Combahee River Collective, twelve Black women working within and outside the pro-choice movement in 1994 coined the term “reproductive justice” to “recognize the commonality of our experiences and, from the sharing and growing consciousness, to a politics that will change our lives and inevitably end our oppression.” Its popularity necessitates an examination of whether reproductive justice is sturdy enough to be analyzed as a novel critical feminist theory and a surprising success story of praxis through intersectionality. Offered to the intellectual commons of inquiry, reproductive justice has impressively built bridges between activists and the academy to stimulate thousands of scholarly articles, generate new women of color organizations, and prompt the reorganization of philanthropic foundations. This article defines reproductive justice, examines its use as an organizing and theoretical framework, and discusses Black patriarchal and feminist theoretical discourses through a reproductive justice lens.
生殖正义活动家积极利用交叉性的概念作为赋权的来源，推动了近代史上生殖政治最重要的转变之一。根据Combahee River Collective的传统，1994年，在支持堕胎运动内外工作的12名黑人女性创造了“生殖正义”一词，以“认识到我们经历的共同性，从分享和成长的意识，到一种将改变我们生活并不可避免地结束压迫的政治。“它的流行需要检验生殖正义是否足够坚固，可以作为一种新颖的批判性女权主义理论和一个通过交叉性实践的惊人成功故事来分析。生殖正义提供给了知识界的调查领域，令人印象深刻地在活动家和学院之间架起了桥梁，激发了数千篇学术文章，产生了新的有色人种女性组织，并推动了慈善基金会的重组。本文定义了生殖正义，考察了它作为一个组织和理论框架的使用，并通过生殖正义的视角讨论了黑人父权制和女权主义的理论话语。

This article is focused on a critical and oppositional approach to diversity work on college campuses--what we call “anti-diversity” work—that builds on and operationalizes various principles of black feminist thought articulated by the Combahee River Collective and other black feminist thinkers. At our small, Midwestern, residential, liberal arts college, we are “doing” anti-diversity work through a new faculty/staff development initiative, a project we developed and are currently implementing, called the Decolonizing Pedagogies Project (DPP). This project draws on concepts like intersectionality and coalition building, along with centering our inquiry on the experiences and theorizing of marginalized bodies and thought, to create decolonial locations that make space for “alternative ways of producing and validating knowledge itself.” The DPP demands that those who engage with the project do deep self reflection on the ways whiteness shapes and holds them to rigid understandings of diversity and inclusion that, as a result, preclude sustained institutional change. Using an intersectional lens, the foundational assumption of this approach is that “black women are inherently valuable” and that the liberation of black women would mean the liberation of everyone, because all systems of oppression would be toppled in the process.
这篇文章的重点是对大学校园多样性工作的批评和反对方法——我们称之为“反多样性”工作——建立在Combahee River Collective和其他黑人女权主义思想家阐述的黑人女权主义思想的各种原则的基础上，并将其付诸实践。在我们位于中西部的小型寄宿文科学院，我们正在通过一项新的教师/员工发展计划“做”反多样性的工作，这是我们开发并正在实施的一个项目，名为“去殖民化教育学项目”（DPP）。该项目借鉴了交叉性和联盟建设等概念，并将我们的调查重点放在边缘化身体和思想的经验和理论上，以创造非殖民化的位置，为“生产和验证知识本身的替代方式”腾出空间。“民进党要求参与该项目的人对白人的塑造方式进行深刻的自我反思，并要求他们对多样性和包容性有严格的理解，从而阻碍了持续的制度变革。从交叉的角度来看，这种方法的基本假设是“黑人女性天生就有价值”，黑人女性的解放意味着每个人的解放，因为在这个过程中，所有压迫制度都会被推翻。

We are representative of the power and potential to black feminist thought upon two generations of women of color. We were brought together as members of a course on black feminist thought and within this class the Combahee River Collective Statement played a central role in defining and transmitting the healing power of black feminist thought. This article adheres to the form, structure, and tradition of the Combahee River Collective in order to identify four topics that are of great importance to us as inheritors of a black feminist intellectual tradition.

Between January and May of 1979, twelve similarly situated black women were murdered in Boston, Massachusetts. Just two years past the writing of what would become their canonical feminist statement, the Combahee River Collective (CRC) mobilized around the series of deaths along with other grassroots organizations and members of the local community. The CRC’s most significant intervention in that crisis was the creation and circulation of a pamphlet that was initially titled, “Six Black Women: Why Did They Die?” that was meant to (1) help women within the affected area know how to better protect themselves, (2) name the conditions that had produced the women’s deaths and the city’s subsequent failure to acknowledge or contend with their deaths in any meaningful way, and (3) evince the value of black women’s lives. The serial murders of black women have continued on unabated since 1979, and this article uses the occasion of the Boston murders to discuss how the CRC’s writing and activism enable a theorization of the serialization of black death that expands meaningfully on the scholarship around serial murder.
1979年1月至5月间，12名处境相似的黑人妇女在马萨诸塞州的波士顿被谋杀。就在这篇后来成为权威女权主义声明的两年后，Combahee River Collective (CRC)与其他基层组织和当地社区成员一起，围绕这一系列死亡事件展开了动员。儿童权利委员会在这场危机中最重要的干预是制作和分发了一本小册子，最初的标题是“六个黑人妇女:她们为什么会死?”这句话的目的是:(1)帮助受影响地区的妇女知道如何更好地保护自己;(2)指出导致这些妇女死亡的原因，以及该市后来未能以任何有意义的方式承认或应对她们的死亡;(3)证明黑人妇女生命的价值。自1979年以来，针对黑人妇女的连环谋杀案一直有增无减，本文以波士顿谋杀案为契机，讨论了儿童权利委员会的写作和行动主义是如何使黑死病系列化的理论化的，这在围绕连环谋杀案的学术研究中有意义地扩展了。
