Black British Feminism: A Reader reveals the historic development and important academic direction of black British feminism. This unique collection of key texts and new writings by Black British women of Pacific, Asian, African, Caribbean and Latina descent living in Britain is essential reading for those interested in cultural and women's studies, sociology, and postcolonial studies.

Exploring the early direction of Black feminist scholars in Britain, the book also demonstrates the shift in the 1990s of exploring intellectual possibilities while continuing to challenge cultural imperialism in its many forms. It also looks ahead to new directions for change engendred by a Black feminist perspective. Contributors include: Hazel Carby, Consuelo Rivera Fuentes, Amina Mama, Anne Phoenix, Amrit Wilson.
