Womanish Black Girls is a collection of essays written by varied
black women who fill spaces within the academy, public schools,
civic organizations, and religious institutions. These writings are
critically reflective and illuminate autobiographical
storied-lives. A major theme is the notion of womanish black
girls/women resisting the familial and communal expectations of
being seen, rather than heard. Consequently, these memories and
lived stories name contradictions between "being told what to do or
say" and "knowing and deciding for herself." Additional themes
include womanism and feminism, male patriarchy, violence, cultural
norms, positionality, spirituality, representation, survival, and
schooling. While the aforementioned can revive painful images and
feelings, the essays offer hope, joy, redemption, and the
re-imagining of new ways of being in individual and communal
spaces. An expectation is that middle school black girls, high
school black girls, college/university black girls, and community
black women view this work as seedlings for understanding
resistance, claiming voice, and healing.
