In discussing the nuances and multiplicities of Black feminisms, this paper centers on the shared experiences that shaped and developed Black feminisms in the United States. Moreover, I explicate the ways in which Black American women, including women involved in Black feminist movements, navigate and defy multiple oppressions and deconstruct the racist and sexist ideologies that devalue their humanity. I follow the following single line of argument: the roles of agency and resistance in the development and persistence of African–American feminisms. In this review of African–American feminisms, I will, therefore, examine the importance of intersectionality for Black feminisms’ strengths in opposing overlapping forms of discrimination based on gender, race, social class, sexual orientation, and disability. Being Black in America means enduring White supremacy and thriving despite pervasive obstacles. Being a Black woman often means acting as the backbone of America despite maltreatment. Black feminisms and Black feminists transform societies via intellectual and pragmatic approaches to social problems. I argue that the practices that speak of and act upon conditions both inside and outside the academy are not primarily examples of individual herioism. They are forces, figures, and concepts bound up with endurance, survival, defiance, resistance, creation, and flourishment.
