In this elegant essay, Djamila Ribeiro offers a compelling intervention into contemporary discussions of power and identity: the concept of \"speaking place.\" A crucial component of conversations on race and gender in Brazil, speaking place is the idea that everyone has a social position in the world and that what we are able to say, and how it is received by others, depends on it. Ribeiro traces the history of Black feminist thought through several centuries, examining the ways that Black women have been silenced, ignored, and punished for speaking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Building on feminist standpoint theory, and in conversation with the works of Sojourner Truth, bell hooks, Audre Lorde, and others, Ribeiro invites all of us to recognize where we stand, to imagine geographies different from those we've inherited, and to speak a more humane world into being.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDjamila Ribeiro\u003c\/b\u003e is a philosopher, essayist, editor, and one of the most influential leaders in the Afro-Brazilian women's rights movement. \u003cb\u003ePadma Viswanathan\u003c\/b\u003e is a novelist, nonfiction writer, and translator. \u003cb\u003eChimamanda Ngozi Adichie\u003c\/b\u003e is a novelist and nonfiction writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 7.4 x 4.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 27, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41915397668999,"sku":"9780300269642","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/d0a60b7965f08e7ffc9831a56941e048.webp?v=1734078097","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/where-we-stand-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
