Dark Continent of Our Bodies: Black Feminism and Politics of Respectability
Dark Continent of Our Bodies is a thorough analysis of Black Feminism and to a lesser degree sexuality. This is the first book I've read that is critical of beliefs that I thought were generally held to be true. For example, in chapter 3-Africa On My Mind- Dr. White discusses Black Nationalism which in some circles is seen as how African Americans should be. Men and women have defined roles in their family and community. I think White's analysis digs deeper to expose it as a patriarchal organization, not realizing that women and men shouldn't be limited by a tradition that may not belong to them.
This book has a wealth of information and definitely made me think and reread several times. It took 6 months (closer to 7 probably) for me to complete because the writing is definitely academic and that can take away some enjoyment.
