1. Beyond The Mask, Race, Gender And Identity
A Resource for Black Women in Higher Education
In this thought-provoking book, the author delves into the complex intersections of race, gender, and identity. Through a combination of personal narratives, historical analysis, and social theory, Mama explores how these constructs shape and influence our lives. She challenges conventional ideas and offers a critical examination of power dynamics, highlighting the ways in which race and gender intersect to create unique experiences and oppressions. With a focus on African women's experiences, Mama calls for a reimagining of identity that goes beyond simplistic categorizations, and instead embraces the complexity and fluidity of human existence.
