From sapphire, mammy, and jezebel, to the angry black woman, baby
mama, and nappy-headed ho, black female iconography has had a long
and tortured history in public culture. The telling of this history
has long occupied the work of black female theorists-much of which
has been foundational in situating black women within the matrix of
sociopolitical thought and practice in the United States.
Scandalize My Name builds upon the rich tradition of this work
while approaching the study of black female representation as an
opening onto a critical contemplation of the vagaries of black
social life. It makes a case for a radical black subject-position
that structures and is structured by an intramural social order
that revels in the underside of the stereotype and ultimately
destabilizes the very notion of "civil society." At turns memoir,
sociological inquiry, literary analysis, and cultural critique,
Scandalize My Name explores topics as varied as serial murder,
reality television, Christian evangelism, teenage pregnancy, and
the work of Toni Morrison to advance black feminist practice as a
mode through which black sociality is both theorized and made
material.
