Document Summary
Intersectional identities a word about anti-racism feminism and work. Black feminist theorists, educators and activists in the us, including anna julia. Cooper and sojourner truth, challenged the construct of domestic labour as associated with motherhood and full time house work: the extension of racialized work from slavery to waged labour ! Speci cally linked systems of slavery and associations of servitude to the oppression of black women in capitalist societies: not all waged work leads to economic independence. Even if able to enter the waged workforce, racialized women were only a orded certain roles because of their race: those roles related to domestic work because of slavery. Not all waged labour is equal in a racist society [] the obtainment of freedom and independence was tied up in the struggle against racism (ferguson 2020, 72) Assigning one in a racial category relates to production and exploitation.
