Résumé
Cet article entrelace des théories littéraires et féministes avec des récits de vie personnels pour démontrer l’effondrement des frontières entre la sphère privée et le domaine intellectuel dans les pratiques pédagogiques des femmes professeures noires. L’article suggère que la reconnaissance de la précarité de la manifestation de la négritude dans les classes d’université présente de nouvelles possibilités d’apprentissage partagé.
