Routledge - When God Lost Her Tongue - Black Feminist History

When God Lost Her Tongue: Historical Consciousness and the Black Feminist Imagination offers a deep look into how Black women's perspectives are re-centered within the African Diaspora. Part of the Subversive Histories, Feminist Futures series, this work by Janell Hobson examines how transatlantic histories are re-imagined and politicized in today's world. By connecting historical case studies from the Caribbean, the African continent, North America, and Europe, the book explores the relationship between past events and contemporary thought. It looks at how present-day writers and artists retell these histories, using a Black feminist lens to reclaim and rescue narratives that have often been overlooked. This text is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and feminist theory. It provides a framework for understanding how historical consciousness shapes the way we view the political and social realities of the modern era through the lens of Black women's lived experiences and creative expressions.
