| Abstract | ||
| Sonia Sanchez’s poetry offers a powerful portrayal of the complexities and resilience of Black women in America. Her work focuses openly on themes of racism, gender, resistance, and self-empowerment. As a central figure in the Black Arts Movement, Sanchez crafts a poetic voice that is both political and personal. This study explores how her poetry embodies intersectional identity and resistance, revealing the overlapping systems of oppression that shape the lives of Black women—such as racism, sexism, and classism—while also celebrating their beauty, strength, and autonomy. | ||
