Black Female Identity Across Print and Visual Culture

Edited by C. Henderson, this collection examines how Black female identity is constructed through representations of the body in print and visual culture. Its contributions consider framing as a social and cultural act: how images and texts place Black women within public discourse, and how Black women and their allies contest those terms through self-representation. Positioned at the intersection of literary criticism, visual culture, and gender studies, the volume centers questions of image, voice, and agency rather than treating the body as a neutral subject.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers studying Black feminist thought and representation
  • Students of literary criticism and visual culture
  • Those interested in the politics of image, identity, and self-definition

Book overview

This volume explores issues of black female identity through the various "imaginings" of the black female body in print and visual culture. Contributions emphasize the ways in which the black female body is framed and how black women (and their allies) have sought to write themselves back into social discourses on their terms.
