As Jones reveals, some of the best-loved devices of our shared social media language are a result of Black women's innovations, from well-known movement-building hashtags (#BlackLivesMatter, #SayHerName, and #BlackGirlMagic) to the now ubiquitous use of threaded tweets as a marketing and storytelling tool. For some, these online dialogues provide an introduction to the work of Black feminist icons like Angela Davis, Barbara Smith, bell hooks, and the women of the Combahee River Collective. For others, this discourse provides a platform for continuing their feminist activism and scholarship in a new, interactive way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eComplex conversations around race, class, and gender that have been happening behind the closed doors of academia for decades are now becoming part of the wider cultural vernacular--one pithy tweet at a time. With these important online conversations, not only are Black women influencing popular culture and creating sociopolitical movements; they are also galvanizing a new generation to learn and engage in Black feminist thought and theory, and inspiring change in communities around them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHard-hitting, intelligent, incisive, yet bursting with humor and pop-culture savvy, \u003ci\u003eReclaiming Our Space\u003c\/i\u003e is a survey of Black feminism's past, present, and future, and it explains why intersectional movement building will save us all.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeminista Jones\u003c\/b\u003e is a Philadelphia-based social worker, feminist writer, public speaker, and community activist.
