Course Wrap Up: CBF Mixtape, Spring 2019
Song: “Be Real Black for Me” by Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway
For Tuesday, April 23rd:
1. Consider your course readings, lectures, films, reference videos, and Tumblr posts.
2. In no more than 200 words, answer the following questions:
What is your biggest takeaway from this course?
What have you discovered about Contemporary Black Feminisms that you did know know before as a result of taking this course?
3. Conduct net-research.
Select 1 song by an African American (or African Descended) artist about Black Womxn’s life, history, of culture (any music genre and period) that illustrates and is relevant to your biggest takeaway from the course. Briefly explain your choice. INCLUDE A LINK TO THE SONG IN THE POST (click the green “Chain” icon to use Link option).
For Example:
Takeaway: My biggest takeaways from this course is recognition of the humanity and resilience of Black Womxn throughout the diaspora. I enjoyed discovering how African American womxn in particular have found avenues for creativity, self-expression, and community despite facing what would seem impossible odds. In the domain of feminist theory and practice, Black womxn and various Black communities have labored to create spaces for joy, laughter, pleasure, desire, spirituality, artistry, politics and identity. The song I’ve chosen is “Be Real Black For Me” by Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway, one of my favorites. The musical style illustrates Flack & Hathaway’s merging of the Black spiritual tradition and blues into soul music. It also illustrates the fellowship and comradery between black womxn and mxn in a hostile world. It reminds me of our conversation with Ritchie Reseda, and the idea that we can develop a black feminist consciousness for black mxn and boys; and that black feminism does not divorce itself from the plight of black mxn and boys - and according to the CRC Statement - it aligns itself with the whole of the black community. Given the long freedom struggle for Black Americans (pre- and post- Civil Rights) and the many contributions made by Black womxn to that struggle, this song encompasses beautiful and complex elements of African American womxn’s life, history, and culture.

Guiding Questions:
How might we gesture toward an intervention in this binary between Ratchet & Runway? And to a further extent, Ratchet & Respectable? What strategies of visibility might "ratchet performances" offer black women as a space of self-making and feminist practice?
