A propos de l'auteur

Yanick St. Jean, Joe R. Feagin

Résumé

Departing from conventional studies of black women, which characterize them as domineering matriarchs, prostitutes and welfare queens, this text uses the concept of a "collective memory" to show how black women cope with and interpret lives often pervaded with racial barriers not of their making.
