Assignment:

Brittney Cooper's text Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpowers and Kimberle Crenshaw's "Mapping the Margins" in Critical Race Theory. In your one page reflection, be sure to give attention to the ways in which Crenshaw differentiates between structural intersectionality and political intersectionality. What is intersectionality and this important for the academic study of religion (you may want to reference Kessler here)? In the Eloquent Rage reading, what is Cooper gesturing towards about the nature of black feminism and the ways it fundamentally differs from white feminism (particularly the second and third waves)? What does Cooper mean that black feminism have always been a queer project? (22) And, as it relates to the intersection of race and gender, what does Cooper mean when she says, "My trans-women comrades have taught that me that you don't have to have a vagina to have a p*ssy"?
