Ep. 2 A Conversation with Joan Morgan
Manage episode 349981732 series 3398751
When Chickenheads Come Home To Roost was published in 1999, Joan Morgan used the vehicle of Hip Hop to birth a vision for Black feminism that would render her a “pioneer.” After 23 years, Morgan celebrates Hip-Hop’s formative role yet pushes beyond its bounds for a larger vision of Black feminist thought while continuing the work of conferring liberatory frameworks for black and brown women. In this episode, Morgan unpacks this by reckoning with her cultural impact, negotiating her whole self within the academy, making space for multiple feminisms within Black feminism, and sharing her work as a scholar-practitioner as she directs NYU’s Center for Black Visual Culture.
