          Abstract

          Por muito tempo mulheres negras têm ocupado posições marginais em ambientes acadêmicos. Argumento que muitas intelectuais negras têm feito uso criativo de sua marginalidade, do seu status de outsider within, para produzir um pensamento feminista negro capaz de refletir um ponto de vista especial em relação ao "self", à família e à sociedade. Descrevo e exploro o significado sociológico de três temas característicos deste pensamento: 1. a autodefinição e a autoavaliação das mulheres negras; 2. a natureza interligada da opressão; e 3. a importância da cultura das mulheres afro-americanas. Após considerar como mulheres negras, em suas posições de outsider within, tratam destes temas chaves com o objetivo de criar distintas perspectivas quanto aos paradigmas sociológicos existentes, sugiro, em minha conclusão, que outros sociólogos iriam se beneficiar ao depositarem mais confiança no potencial criativo de suas próprias biografias pessoais e culturais.

          Translated abstract

          Black women have long occupied marginal positions in academic settings. I argue that many Black female intellectuals have made creative use of their marginality - their "outsider within" status - to produce Black feminist thought that reflects a special standpoint on self, family, and society. I describe and explore the sociological significance of three characteristic themes in such thought: 1. Black women's self-definition and self-valuation; 2. the interlocking nature of oppression; and 3. the importance of Afro-American women's culture. After considering how Black women might draw upon these key themes as outsiders within to generate a distinctive standpoint on existing sociological paradigms, I conclude by suggesting that other sociologists would also benefit by placing greater trust in the creative potential of their own personal and cultural biographies.
