Black Girl Magic Beyond the Hashtag poses the question: how does the #BlackGirlMagic political and cultural movement translate outside of social media?

Black Women and da ’Rona

Community, Consciousness, and Ethics of Care

The University of Arizona Press

Deliberately writing against archival erasure and death-driven logics of anti-Blackness, this volume chronicles Black women’s aliveness, ethics of care, and rituals of healing. The nineteen contributors from interdisciplinary fields and diverse backgrounds situate Black women’s multidimensional experiences with COVID-19 and other violences that affect their lives. The stories they tell are connected and interwoven, bound together by anti-Black gendered COVID necropolitics and commitments to creating new spaces for breathing, healing, and wellness.

Shadow Bodies

Black Women, Ideology, Representation, and Politics

Rutgers University Press

Grounded in Black feminist thought, Julia S. Jordan-Zachery looks at the functioning of scripts ascribed to Black women’s bodies in the framing of HIV/AIDS, domestic abuse, and mental illness and how such functioning renders some black female bodies invisible in Black politics in general and Black women’s politics specifically.
