Black Girls Experiencing Their Intersectional Identities in School
explores the subjective experience of Black girls within the
educational context. Based on interviews, diary entries, and focus
groups, the author argues that as a result of their intersectional
identities, Black girls experience unique challenges and obstacles in
the educational setting. Addressing topics ranging from interpersonal
relationships, social media, beauty, sexuality,
hypervisibility/invisibility, and microaggressions, this book
highlights the voices and experiences of Black girls between the ages
of 11 and 15. The Girls provide a narrative account of the challenges
they face daily in the educational context, describing in detail, the
factors that maintain and perpetuate volatile conditions.
Additionally, this book explores the coping strategies that this group
of Black girls developed to resist and respond to the daily obstacles.
Ultimately, this book not only identifies the unique struggles faced
by Black girls in schools as a result of their intersectional
identities; but most importantly, this work explores pragmatic
strategies that can be implemented to create safe and beneficial
spaces for Black Girls. The author argues that through the
implementation of Black Feminist Pedagogy, an “Ethic of Caring,”
and partnerships with Black Girl Empowerment organizations,
educational practitioners can mediate the negative experiences and
create spaces for growth.
