Content:
A wide-ranging black feminist interrogation, reaching from the #MeToo movement to the legacy of gender-based violence against black women. From Michelle Obama to Condoleezza Rice, black women are uniquely scrutinized in the public eye. Nikol G. Alexander-Floyd explores how black women - and blackness more broadly - are understood in our political imagination and often become the subjects of public controversy. Drawing on politics, popular culture, psychoanalysis, and more, Alexander-Floyd examines our conflicting ideas, opinions, and narratives about black women, showing how they are equally revered and reviled as an embodiment of good and evil, cast either as victims or villains, citizens or outsiders.
