Hip Hop Feminism is a sub-set of black feminism that centers intersectional subject positions involving race and gender in a way that acknowledges the contradictions in being a black feminist, such as black women's enjoyment in (misogynistic) hip hop music and culture, rather than simply focusing on the victimization of black women in hip hop culture due to interlocking systems of oppressions involving race, class, and gender.

Black French women have a long history of carving out spaces for intellectual exchange, economic empowerment, and political action. In the 20th century, the formalized existence of the French empire meant that these spaces were also necessarily international in scope. Consequently, they challenged narrow definitions of who could be French. They also redefined republicanism from a state policy that mandates lip service to colorblindness to an active commitment to France’s tripartite motto of “liberty, equality, fraternity.” Tracing this history of black French women and the contest over citizenship in public spaces allows us to better understand the historical roots of Mwasi’s contemporary afro-feminist politics.

You are so wonderful.’ In other words, the color of my skin didn’t matter in Paris and that was one of the main reasons why I think I was encouraged and began to really think I was talented.”-Loïs Mailou Jones

Throughout the 20th century, and more particularly during its first half, Paris never stopped welcoming artists from all over the world. Persecuted in their countries, stigmatized for their skin colors, or simply in search of creative freedom, Paris was their refuge. An attractiveness that made Paris the artistic capital of the world at the time, where influences mixed, became entangled, and sometimes merged.
