Description: The twelve original essays in Black Female Sexualities reveal the diverse ways black women perceive, experience, and represent sexuality. The contributors highlight the range of tactics that black women use to express their sexual desires and identities. Yet they do not shy away from exploring the complex ways in which black women negotiate the more traumatic aspects of sexuality and grapple with the legacy of negative stereotypes.
Review Quotes: "This volume provides an illuminating discourse about the meaning, metaphors, and magnitude of black female sexuality as an agent of both oppression and transformation."--Paula J. Giddings "author of IDA: A Sword Among Lions"
