Reclaiming Our Space: How Black Feminists Are Changing the World from the Tweets to the Streets by Feminista Jones

3.0

Per other reviews, this is entirely mis-marketed. It's more of a blog-ish memoir of essays instead of being about other black feminists as well, and very all over the place. It's more about social media and using it, and it's a confusing assortment to put into book form. I thought I would be reading a collection of different women's viewpoints, but it's very much the author's, so again, not what was expected. And despite her being queer, she barely discussed that at all, instead focusing on heteronorm relationships, but then went into womanism, which feels very queer-exclusionary, so that was a brain scratcher. This had potential, but it was just way too sparse. The section "Black Mamas Matter" was definitely worth the read, though.
