 McBride offers these remarks on the way to calling for a “new Black Studies” that attends more carefully to issues of intra-racial diversity. Some version of this call is surely relevant for Africana philosophy. For this reason, forthcoming work by V. Denise James and Anika Simpson is particularly welcome in the U.S. context. (I’ll leave it to commentators with more intimate knowledge of other contexts to comment on the promising developments elsewhere.) James is working on a philosophical treatment of Audre Lorde, and Simpson is preparing a study of the way a responsible engagement with single black motherhood requires a queering of standard philosophical approaches to family, sexuality, gender, and political  life.[9]
