WE Matter!
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-05808-5 (ISBN)
Increasingly, social, cultural, and political discourse is deeming Black women and girls to be a critical group to engage. We are told their lives should matter, and yet, there is also overwhelming evidence that Black women and girls continue to be what Malcolm X declared, "The most neglected person in America". This critical volume engages a conversation at the intersection of the fields of education and psychology among recognized Black women scholars that contemporizes the discourse about Black women’s and girls’ diversity, their sociocultural contexts, and various approaches to communal and clinical work with them to support their mental health, wellness, and thrivance.
WE Matter!: Intersectional Anti- Racist Feminist Interventions with Black Girls and Women is a significant new contribution to Black Studies, Mental Health, and Gender Studies, and will be a great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Sociology, Psychology, Education, and Politics.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Women & Therapy.
Wendi S. Williams is a celebrated scholar, author, and educator, who has committed her life’s work to educate teachers, institutions, policymakers, advocates, and the general public on the intersections of education and psychology. Her work threads the intersection of psychology and education with Black women’s liberatory leadership practices to understand our everyday lived experiences and influence organizational health.
