Socjolożka: Czarna myśl feministyczna jest stanowiskiem „outsiderów od wewnątrz” (outsiders within) z własnymi kryteriami wiedzy – przeżyte doświadczenie, dialog, troska; opresje krzyżują się w „matrycy dominacji”.

Stanowisko

Collins argues that Black women in the United States have produced a body of thought – in blues lyrics, oral tradition, fiction and scholarship – which deserves to be taken as knowledge. Their position as “outsiders within”, working inside white institutions without belonging to them, gives them a distinctive standpoint. Black feminist epistemology, in her account, has its own criteria: lived experience as a criterion of meaning, dialogue in assessing claims, an ethic of caring and of personal accountability. Oppressions – race, class, gender, sexuality, nation – are not additive but form a “matrix of domination” in which a person may be oppressed in one dimension and privileged in another.
