Books like Double burden by Yanick St Jean


Drawing on more than 200 interviews, Yanick St. Jean and Joe R. Feagin chart the complex lives of African American women in various U.S. regions. The study exposes both the obstacles—racist attitudes, discrimination, and societal prejudice—and the adaptive strategies these women develop to overcome barriers. By framing these tactics as an "oppositional culture," rooted in family structure and transmitted through collective memory, the authors illuminate the enduring resilience of African American women in the face of systemic injustice.
