The author of Unexpected Return weaves a tale and leads us by the hand down the paths of her imagination fecund with dreams and ideas. Unexpected Return's author starts off at a site from which she moves onwards in the vehicle of a narrative free from vanity and the constraints of effete literature. Thus in the hands of her characters---each masterfully situated within his own milieu---she achieved that for which she was striving: a concatenation of countless events, woes, tears, tragedies and times of anguish which make each character spring to life upon this novel's stinging pages. She describes with passionate affliction the arduous personal fight of one man to outrun a past which overshadowed his present and mercilessly punished him. A man who unflaggingly sought a possible redemption to deliver him beyond all doubt to the embrace of the only woman whom he ever truly loved.

The Politics of Survival

Black Women Social Welfare Beneficiaries in Brazil and the United States

By: Gladys L. Mitchell-Walthour

Winner, 2024 Anna Julia Cooper Outstanding Publication Award, Association for the Study of Black Women in Politics Poor Black women who benefit from social welfare are marginalized in a number of ways by interlocking systemic racism, sexism, and classism. The media renders them invisible or casts them as racialized and undeserving “welfare queens” who exploit social safety nets. Even when Black women voters are celebrated, the voices of the poorest too often go unheard. How do Afro-descendant women in former slave-holding societies survive amid multifaceted oppression? Gladys L. Mitchell-Walthour offers a comparative analysis of how Black women social welfare beneficiaries in Brazil and the United States defy systems of domination. She argues that poor Black women act as political subjects in the struggle to survive, to provide food for their children and themselves, and challenge daily discrimination even in dire circumstances. Mitchell-Walthour examines the effects of social welfare programs, showing that mutual aid networks and informal labor also play important roles in beneficiaries’ lives. She also details how Afro-descendant women perceive stereotypes and discrimination based on race, class, gender, and skin color. Mitchell-Walthour considers their formal political participation, demonstrating that low-income Black women support progressive politics and that religious affiliation does not lead to conservative attitudes. Drawing on Black feminist frameworks, The Politics of Survival confronts the persistent invisibility of poor Black women by foregrounding their experiences and voices. Providing a wealth of empirical evidence on these women’s views and survival strategies, this book not only highlights how systemic structures marginalize them but also offers insight into how they resist such forces.
