Sensuous Knowledge: A Black Feminist Approach for Everyone by Minna Salami

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

This book is a beautiful re-balancing of feminist theories through intersectional thinking by an the author who is mixed race (black and white), and draws both on her own personal experience and her readings such as Audre Lorde or Toni Morrison. Her notion of erotic thinking is drawn from the former, certainly, but works almost as an exercise in applying Lorde's theory to contemporary thought. Her philosophy also includes ancestral narratives, which are welcome as a way to embrace non euro-centric histories.
