One of the Best Nonfiction Books of 2022, Kirkus Reviews "A
righteous indictment of racism and misogyny."-Publishers Weekly A
powerful account of violence against Black women and girls in the
United States and their fight for liberation. Echoing the energy of
Nina Simone's searing protest song that inspired the title, this
book is a call to action in our collective journey toward just
futures. America, Goddam explores the combined force of
anti-Blackness, misogyny, patriarchy, and capitalism in the lives
of Black women and girls in the United States today. Through
personal accounts and hard-hitting analysis, Black feminist
historian Treva B. Lindsey starkly assesses the forms and legacies
of violence against Black women and girls, as well as their demands
for justice for themselves and their communities. Combining
history, theory, and memoir, America, Goddam renders visible the
gender dynamics of anti-Black violence. Black women and girls
occupy a unique status of vulnerability to harm and death, while
the circumstances and traumas of this violence go underreported and
understudied. America, Goddam allows readers to understand How
Black women-who have been both victims of anti-Black violence as
well as frontline participants-are rarely the focus of Black
freedom movements. How Black women have led movements demanding
justice for Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, Toyin Salau, Riah Milton,
Aiyana Stanley-Jones, and countless other Black women and girls
whose lives have been curtailed by numerous forms of violence. How
across generations and centuries, their refusal to remain silent
about violence against them led to Black liberation through
organizing and radical politics. America, Goddam powerfully
demonstrates that the struggle for justice begins with reckoning
with the pervasiveness of violence against Black women and girls in
the United States.
