Below is a list of books that were published in 2017 written by Black women academics. I am hoping to make this blog a resource for people from all fields and backgrounds interested in being guided by the work of Black women. I started to reflect on how often I have conversations where I learn about a Black woman academic via word of mouth only.
I created a list on Black women’s theories recently and got feedback that many people found it useful for their work.
