This list is a work in progress and the beginning of a larger project to document the work of ABWH scholars.
Dr. Evans created this project to encourage proper citation of ABWH scholars, enhance the bibliographic record, and inform discussions about historiography.
The BWST Booklist is an open access, online resource that contains over 1,400 entries. The Booklist is offered in two formats: thematic and alphabetical. The Black Women's Studies (BWST) Booklist connects foundational texts of critical race and gender scholarship to newer publications. This comprehensive bibliography identifies long-term trends and places recent contributions in historical context. Beyond a "generative" project, the BWST Booklist identifies past, present, and forthcoming work to create a robust, regenerative discussion. The BWST Booklist enables more clarity in the formal study of Black women's theories, identities, academic disciplines, activist work, and geographic locations.
The list is useful for research, citation, course instruction, and advising undergraduate or graduate student projects, theses, dissertations, and exams. The BWST Booklist has benefited from input by a diverse group of scholars in Black studies and women's studies departments, professional organizations, libraries, and academic presses.
