Double Burden : Black Women and Everyday Racism
by Yanick St Jean and Joe R. Feagin
Other Available Formats
Overview
Studies of contemporary black women are rare and scattered, and are often extensions of a legacy beginning in the 19th century that characterized black women as domineering matriarchs, prostitutes, or welfare queens, negative characterizations that are perpetuated by both white and non-white social scientists. Based on over 200 interviews, this book departs from these conventions in significant ways, and, using a "collective memory" conceptual framework, shows how black women cope with and interpret lives often pervaded with racial barriers not of their making.
