Aprašymas

Afrikan American Women: Living at the Crossroads of Race, Gender, Class, and Culture provides students with a selection of carefully curated readings that comprehensively address the psychological experience of women with Afrikan ancestry in the United States.

The anthology brings together the work of psychologists, social workers, historians, and other scholars who have studied Black female oppression. Their research examines the effects of race, gender, class, and culture on the mental, emotional, and physical health and psychosocial adjustment of Afrikan American women. The book provides a psycho-historical analysis of the experience of these women across their lifespans and discusses the historical and contemporary issues that have contributed to the current conditions they face.

The second edition features new authors and readings that examine the divine feminine, Black and Afrikan feminisms, colorism and hair bias, minimization of sexual assault, Black lesbian youth, Black motherhood, rites of passage, mourning and activism, and the women of the Black Panthers. Readings that were featured in the first edition of the anthology have been updated by their authors.

Afrikan American Women is ideal for courses in women's studies, Afrikan American studies, psychology, and sociology courses.
