Global Intersections: Critical Race Feminist Human Rights And Inter/National Black Women

The author explores the developing area of critical race feminist human rights, specifically in relation to the issues affecting black women who migrate from Jamaica to America. The author's central argument is that to adequately address the rights of these women, it is necessary to re-conceptualize the dominant understanding of international rights. The author stresses the need to understand that race and gender intersect in ways that international law has yet to recognize. The author concludes that international laws must be interpreted in a manner better reflective of the intersection between race and gender.
