Black Women, Ideology, Representation, and Politics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Focuses on the positionality of the Black woman's body, which serves as a springboard for helping us think through political and cultural representations. < em>Shadow Bodies does so by asking: How do discursive practices support and maintain hegemonic understandings of Black womanhood thereby rendering some Black women as shadow bodies, unseen and unremarked upon?
