Description
Thick And Other Essays by Tressie McMillan Cottom is a collection of incisive and provocative essays that blend the personal with the political. Award-winning professor and author Tressie McMillan Cottom refuses to shy away from exploring themes such as beauty, media, money, and more, bringing her full self and voice to the fore of her analytical work. In this highly praised treatise, McMillan Cottom transforms narrative moments into analyses of whiteness, black misogyny, and status-signaling as means of survival for black women. With writing that is both deft and amusing, she investigates topics such as Saturday Night Live, LinkedIn, and BBQ Becky, alongside issues like sexual violence, infant mortality, and Trump rallies. This thought-provoking collection cements McMillan Cottom's position as a public thinker capable of shedding new light on the personal essay form.
