Introduction -- Different streams of knowledge: theoretically situating this study -- Inscribing and the black (female) body politic -- Uncovering talk across time and space: black women elected -- "Safe, soulful sex": HIV/AIDS talk -- Killing me softly: narratives on domestic violence and black womanhood -- "Why so many sisters are mad and sad": talking about black women with mental illnesses -- Sister speak: using intersectionality in our political and policy strategizing.
Summary
Grounded in Black feminist thought, Julia S. Jordan-Zachery looks at the functioning of scripts ascribed to Black women's bodies in the framing of HIV/AIDS, domestic abuse, and mental illness and how such functioning renders some black female bodies invisible in Black politics in general and Black women's politics specifically.
