The Invisible Struggle
As a Black woman in America, I've witnessed firsthand the erasure of our experiences from both racial and feminist discourse. No other group in America has had their identity so thoroughly socialized out of existence as Black women. When people talk about Blacks, the focus tends to be on Black men. When they discuss women, they're usually referring to white women. This invisibility is not accidental; it's a direct result of the intersecting oppressions of racism and sexism that have shaped our nation's history. In writing this book, I aim to shed light on the unique struggles and strengths of Black women throughout American history. Our story is one of resilience in the face of unimaginable hardship, of fighting for our humanity in a world that has consistently denied it. From the brutal realities of slavery to the ongoing battles for equality in the present day, Black women have been at the forefront of social change, even as our contributions have been overlooked and undervalued.
