Hear Our Truths: The Creative Potential of Black Girlhood (Dissident Feminisms)

Description: is volume examines how Saving Our Lives Hear Our Truths, or SOLHOT, a radical youth intervention, provides a space for the creative performance and expression of Black girlhood and how this creativity informs other realizations about Black girlhood and womanhood. Founded in 2006 and co-organized by the author, SOLHOT is an intergenerational collective organizing effort that celebrates and recognizes Black girls as producers of culture and knowledge. Girls discuss diverse expressions of Black girlhood, critique the issues that are important to them, and create art that keeps their lived experiences at its center.Drawing directly from her experiences in SOLHOT, Ruth Nicole Brown argues that when Black girls reflect on their own lives, they articulate radically unique ideas about their lived experiences. She documents the creative potential of Black girls and women who are working together to advance original theories, practices, and performances that affirm complexity, interrogate power, and produce humanizing representation of Black girls' lives. Emotionally and intellectually powerful, this book expands on the work of Black feminists and feminists of color and breaks intriguing new ground in Black feminist thought and methodology."Product IdentifiersPublisherUniversity of Illinois PressISBN-100252079493ISBN-139780252079498eBay Product ID (ePID)168391605Product Key FeaturesAuthorRuth Nicole BrownPublication NameHear Our Truths : the Creative Potential of Black GirlhoodFormatTrade PaperbackLanguageEnglishPublication Year2013SeriesDissident Feminisms Ser.TypeTextbookNumber of Pages264 PagesDimensionsItem Length9.2inItem Height0.6inItem Width6.2inItem Weight23.5 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberE185.86Reviews"The book illustrates the creative methods of black girls and those who do black girl work and provides a progressive depiction of the complexity and necessity of the creative potential of black girls."-- Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, "This impressive and refreshing book explores the creative potential of Black girlhood and offers a variety of options for ways to engage Black girls and work with them to become the very best of who they are destined to be.
