Double Burden: Black Women and Everyday Racism

By Yanick St. Jean and Joe R. Feagin

Book Overview

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.
