I'm hoping to do a critical analysis of the TV show 'The Wire' focusing primarily on Black Feminism and Anarcha-feminism. I've read Rivkin and Ryan's 'Literary theory: an anthology' which has many seminal essays on Feminism/ Gender Studies, Queer Theory, and Marxism:

I'm fed up of quoting Marxists, but I'm at a loss at where to begin with regards black and anarcha-feminist study and its theorists. There are a lot of books that AK Press distribute, but again I don't know which are any good.
Can anyone help me please?
Regards.
Not to be too pedantic, but referring to certain essays and thinkers in feminist, gender, and queer theory as "seminal" is a bit, er, patriarchal (it refers to sperm/semen). You might consider calling them "germinal" instead.
Lorenzo Komboa Ervin and Ashanti Alston would be the best place to start looking at black anarchism. L. Susan Brown has some interesting ideas on anarcha-feminism.
