Trust Kupupika, Shaping Our Freedom Dreams: Reclaiming Intersectionality Through Black Feminist Legal Theory, 107 Va. L. Rev. Online 27 (2021)"Black feminist legal theory has offered the tool of intersectionality to modern feminist movements to help combat interlocking systems of oppression. Despite this tremendous offering, intersectionality has become wholly divorced from its Black feminist origins. This is significant because without a deep engagement with Black feminist legal theory, intersectionality is devoid of its revolutionary potential. In an attempt to reclaim the term, I offer a brief history of Black feminist legal theory and outline the theory's impact through the widespread modern use of intersectionality. Lastly, I highlight how modern feminist movements can honor Black women's contributions to the movement and achieve greater progress by relying on the original meaning of intersectionality as defined by Kimberlé Crenshaw."
