ABSTRACT
Black Feminism is one of the most important critical theoretical orientations in the world today because of its unique ability to create a real connection between theory and practice. As a radical decolonial perspective, it has contributed new concepts and theories for understanding the multiplicity of oppressions and for developing new strategies for liberation. This chapter examines abolitionism as a decolonial, anti-racist, anti-patriarchal, and anti-ableist project. The chapter considers this through the lens of intersectionality – a concept which describes the inseparable nature of multiple oppressions – with reference to historical and contemporary theory and praxis.
