Abstract

This qualitative study explored Black women's activism and their process of learning and constructing knowledge in the environmental justice movement. By conducting in-depth interviews with sixteen activists from three southeastern states, findings revealed that a passion for home/place energized Black women's activism and served as the epicenter for knowledge construction.

Keywords: Black women's learning, home/place, knowledge construction, social movements, environmental justice
