Show notes
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.
