Crunk Feminist Collection

The Crunk Feminist Collection is a collection of essays that take on intersectionality, African-American culture, patriarchy, misogyny, anti-blackness and hip hop feminism.[1] The essays were originally published on the blog Crunk Feminist Collective between 2010 and 2015.[2] Edited by Brittney Cooper, Susana M. Morris and Robin M. Boylorn, three members of the Crunk Feminist Collective (CFC), the book was published in 2017 by Feminist Press.

Crunk Feminist Collection

Along with section introductions written by the editors to organize and frame some of the themes addressed, the collection includes popular essays from the blog written by CFC members Crunkista, Sheri Davis-Faulkner, Aisha Durham, Eesha Pandit, Rachel Raimist and Chanel Craft Tanner.

Reception

Publishers Weekly described the essays as "extremely relevant, educational, and a genuine pleasure to wrestle with", [3] while Literary Hub listed the collection as a "required book" for Women's History Month,[4] and Ebony included it among "powerful must-reads".[5] Kirkus Reviews considered it "(a) valuable record of (...) a growing cultural awareness of feminist issues and criticism, particularly for women of color", but faulted the contributors for "favor(ing) anecdotal evidence rather than a more substantive argument.[2]

gollark: If it's bricked, it can't do much and you can probably fix it. If it's been haxxed, it can actively "work against you".
gollark: Probably hacked is worse.
gollark: <@!221827050892296192> Sane sites probably will filter the HTML you provide, or otherwise that would cause horrible, horrible security problems.
gollark: Maybe you don't have exFAT stuff installed.
gollark: Well, try mounting it as exFAT or the other thing.
