Black Macho and the Myth of the Superwoman (Verso Classics) by Wallace, Michele Wallace
5.0
this book is fun. i'm taking my time with it. it's very enjoyable.
it definitely lives within the idea that "rape in the black community is the rape of the black man." it is troubling thinking of diaspora, considering how definitions of gender roles maintain this continuum through the fetishization of blackness in struggle. this is one of the more enjoyable things i've read. i like the somewhat anecdotal divergence in the troubled girls home that led to michele becoming a feminist through the glimpse of a collective plight. i don't know what else i can say.
