To turn the whole world over: black women and internationalism

Black women in the United States and across the African diaspora have historically linked national concerns to global ones.

This interdisciplinary collection explores the varied ways black women have engaged in internationalism since the late nineteenth century through political agitation, consumption activities and activities and economic pursuits, leisure and religious practices, as well as performance and artistic expression.

The essays in this collection employ diverse and innovative methodological approaches and explore new sites of internationalism, including Australia, Germany, and Spain.

By highlighting the range and complexity of black women's ideas and activities across time and space, this volume expands the contours of black internationalism in the United States and across the globe.
