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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding 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 recognise where we stand, to imagine geographies different from those we've inherited, and to speak a more humane world into being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428445995244,"sku":"9780300269642","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300269642.jpg?v=1774496662","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/where-we-stand-by-djamila-ribeiro-9780300269642","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
