Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

How does Kendall define hood feminism? How is it different from White feminism? Do you agree or disagree with her perspective on the failures of mainstream feminism?

Discuss the role of pop culture—pop culture figures like Beyoncé, Twitter, television shows, and aspects of Black style—in Kendall’s arguments. Include examples of how she incorporates these parts of culture into her argument. How do these examples engage (or fail to engage) her audience?

Who is the primary audience for Kendall’s work? Use evidence from one or more chapters to make the case for your identification.
