Description
The Black Girlhood Studies Collection by Aria S. Halliday brings together emerging and established scholars to explore the experiences of Black girls in various contexts. This interdisciplinary collection engages with key concepts such as race, gender, sexuality, class, and nationality to understand how they shape identities. Featuring contributions from a range of experts, this volume foregrounds the importance of self-care, fan activism, political role models, and new media in shaping Black girlhood. The book also draws on feminist and womanist theory, hip-hop pedagogy, resistance theory, and ethnography to provide a nuanced understanding of this critical area of study. With chapter overviews, glossaries, and discussion questions, The Black Girlhood Studies Collection offers a vital resource for scholars, educators, and anyone interested in advancing our understanding of Black girlhood.
