Carefree Black girls : a celebration of Black women in popular culture / Zeba Blay. by Blay, Zeba. St. Martin's Griffin, 2021. Call #: 305.48896073 B645c Subjects Blay, Zeba.   Women, Black in popular culture.   Women, Black -- Biography -- Anecdotes.   Women, Black -- Social conditions.   American essays -- Black authors.   American essays -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781250231567 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Celebration of Black women in popular culture Edition:  1st ed. Description:  260 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-260). 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.
