In Black Intimacies: A Gender Perspective on Families and
Relationships, Shirley A. Hill applies a gender lens to the
multiple systems of oppression that have shaped the lives of
African American women and men. She challenges the image of a
monolithic black population, a legacy of the civil rights movement
that she argues is impossible to sustain in the postmodern era.
Through a critique of intersectionality theory, Hill examines the
ways in which gender has affected experiences of intimacy, family
relationships, child rearing and motherhood for contemporary
African Americans. Drawing on ethnographic material, interviews,
and scholarly research, Hill's work rethinks the cultural and
historical definitions of black identity, and reconceptualizes the
various forms of oppression faced by black women. This book will be
useful to students and instructors of African American Studies,
Gender Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Marriage and Family, and
Social Work.
