#Say Her Name by Kimberle Crenshaw

Resisting Police Brutality Against Black Women

Through data, case studies, and legal and cultural analysis, this book documents how Black women have been marginalized and often overlooked in public conversations about police violence, tracing patterns of abuse, erasure, and systemic discrimination; it centers the stories of survivors and victims, applies an intersectional framework to show how race and gender compound vulnerability, critiques existing legal and policy responses, and offers pathways for advocacy, accountability, and structural change to ensure Black women’s experiences are recognized and addressed.
