WOW - Women Of The World Festival 2013: Ain't I A Woman
‘When black people are talked about the focus tends to be on black men; and when women are talked about the focus tends to be on white
women,’ wrote African American academic bell hooks in her seminal book Ain’t I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism. Has this changed? Are black women’s experiences valued? How do black women fit into today’s popular culture? What does Rihanna tell us about race, sex and music in the 21st century?
Speakers include LA based journalist Miki Turner, Brenda Emmanus, BBC London News’ Arts, Culture and Entertainment Correspondent, Kieran Yates, author of Generation Vexed and Shirley Tate, author of Black Beauty:
Aesthetics, Stylization, Politics and Grammy Award-winner Angelique Kidjo. Chaired by author and journalist Hannah Pool.
Held in the Front Room.
