- Description
- Disenfranchised by race and gender, often deprived of a place within the mostly white mainstream feminist movement, black women are objectified, silenced and marginalized with devastating consequences, in ways that are rarely acknowledged in the larger discussion about inequality. In this book Jerkins becomes both narrator and subject to expose the social, cultural, and historical story of black female oppression that influences the black community as well as the white, male-dominated world at large.
