Summary:
"In 2013, film and
culture
critic Zeba Blay was one of the first people to coin the viral term #carefreeblackgirls on Twitter. As she says, it was "a way to carve out a space of
celebration
and freedom for
Black
women
online." In this collection of essays, Blay expands on this initial idea by delving into the work and lasting achievements of influential
Black
women
in American culture--writers, artists, actresses, dancers, hip-hop stars--whose contributions often come in the face of bigotry, misogyny, and stereotypes. Blay celebrates the strength and fortitude of these
Black
women
, while also examining the many stereotypes and rigid identities that have clung to them. In writing that is both luminous and sharp, expansive and intimate, Blay seeks a path forward to a
culture
and society in which
Black
women
and their art are appreciated and celebrated."--From publisher.
