The Black girlhood studies collection / edited by Aria S. Halliday.

"The Black Girlhood Studies Collection is the first volume dedicated to the burgeoning academic field of Black Girlhood Studies. Centering the experiences of Black girls in Canada, the US, the Caribbean, and the African continent, established and new scholars provide the theoretical, practical, and pedagogical tools necessary for the advancement of the field and the betterment of Black girls globally. The contributors consider what black girlhood means in the 21st century and how ideas of race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and nationality affect the experiences of Black girls. The chapters engage with Black feminist and womanist theory, hip hop pedagogy, resistance theory, and ethnography. From self-care and fan fiction to political role models and new media, this collection foregrounds Black girls' experiences to create language that better constructs and explains Black girls' lives from their own words."-- Provided by publisher.
