  • "Unbound Tongues," Radical Women of Color Feminism Revisited

’Unbound Tongues,’ Radical Women of Color Feminism Revisited

Tuesday, September 13, 2022

7:30pm

Presidents Hall, Franklin Hall

Lecturer

Cherríe Moraga

Distinguished Professor in the Department of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara

Forty years after the creation and first publication of This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color, its co-editor, Cherríe Moraga, will speak to the enduring influence of the anthology and U.S. women of color feminisms in the face of what she calls the neocolonization of critical public discourse.  The lecture will illustrate what gets lost and what gets discovered by ‘walking and talking’ an intersectional freedom road for any soul who suffers white supremacist heteropatriarchy intimately and/or institutionally.  As a critical race theorist and Chicana feminist poet-playwright, Moraga will address material and metaphysical considerations in a series of meditations on our threatened planet, gendered and racist violence, as well as the requirements toward a redemptive worldview and praxis.
