I got this as an arc on Netgalley and it will come out in February. This is an extremely important book that discusses the misogynoir released on Black girls through media analysis. It was extremely eye opening and still easy to follow (despite me suddenl struggling with non fiction texts atm since a new covid infection recently).

The book (and course) that I wish I had in college. By analyzing the use of “misogynoir” (the combined force of anti-Black racism and misogyny aimed toward Black women) through a modern cultural lens, the author shines a light on how the popular representations of Black girls in songs, movies, social media, and TV shows characterize them as ultimately disposable unless they are in service of others. Modern references give the reader a tangible association to the very strong, carefully sourced points. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in return for my honest opinion.
