In this week's Black World News,
Kehinde Andrews discusses the theme of Black Employment Month AKA
Black History Month "Saluting Our Sisters," the past and present
overlooking of Black Women, and the importance of the Black
feminist standpoint in understanding the world better. For example,
why we mobilize more around the public spectacle of anti-Black
violence against predominantly Black men that leads to liberal
reforms and why we need to also look at the private violence that
predominantly affects Black women, such as deaths in childbirth.
Focussing on both will lead to more radical solutions.

In this week's guest interview, Kehinde
Andrews talks with Patricia Hill Collins about her new book “Lethal
Intersections: Race, Gender, and Violence,” the appropriation of
intersectionality and what it is and isn’t, navigating her career
in academia, the “public intellectual” and what it will take for
Black people to be free.
Patricia Hill Collins is a distinguished US professor emerita of
sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park, and the
author of numerous award-winning books including her best-known and
fundamental title "Black Feminist Thought" (originally published in
1990) and more (see below). She was the first ever elected Black
female to be president of the American Sociological Association
(ASA). This week Patricia was the winner of the very
prestigious Berggruen Philosophy Prize, the first
Black person to win this prize.
