When loving you is no longer an option, and those around you can't love you either, it seems like the end; the end of life, the end of self respect, the end of ever becoming what you always believed you could. Growing up in a world full of lust, addiction, rape, and self-hate; it was only time before Khalilah would come to the end of herself and start living her destiny
This book is for the single woman, the married woman, the woman married to an unbelieving spouse, the woman who is just ready to move into her winning season and break free from the cycles. If you have found yourself to be bitter, angry for no reason at the wrong people, broken, beat down, beat up, dismayed, lost, lonely, alone, unappreciated, cast away, lied on, talked about, gossiping about others, confused, caught up in drama, caught up in other people's drama, unable to heal, unloved, unaccepted, unprotected, loose, restless, relentless, insatiable, wandering, or just plain friendless...this book is for you. As woman we were created to be relational and God made us to be more than what a man could ever be alone. It is your time to take your place.
The Conscious Cultural Worker: Counter-Narratives of Black Women Artivists as Radical Educators uses narrative inquiry and Black feminist and womanist pedagogy to look at the teaching identities and lived experiences of Black women artivist educators in the current neoliberal anti-woke moment. Their counter-narratives are presented as vignettes to look at a certain time in the lives of Black women artists who use rap, spoken word, or visual art to turn public places like bars, clubs, galleries, lounges, and alleys into unofficial educational spaces that the author calls "Communities of Reciprocity" (CoR). This book adds to what is known about situated learning, teacher identity, and the co-creation of communities of practice by focusing on the point of view of Black women as conscious culture workers. It does this by bringing attention to the fact that culture work is a kind of conversation between creatives as expert practitioners and audiences as spect-actors, who co-create liberatory educative texts. In this book, Black women "work" the culture by challenging hegemonic discourse and hidden curricula wherever people who want to learn come together.
In 2017, a white supremacist rally at the University of Virginia forced many to consider how much progress had been made in a country that, nine years prior, had elected its first Black president. Beyond these racial flashpoints, the increasingly polarized nature of US politics has reignited debates around the meaning of identity, citizenship, and acceptance in America today. In this pioneering book, Khalilah L. Brown-Dean moves beyond the headlines to examine how contemporary controversies emanate from longstanding struggles over power, access, and belonging. Using intersectionality as an organizing framework, she draws on current tensions such as voter suppression, the Me Too movement, the Standing Rock protests, marriage equality, military service, the rise of the Religious Right, protests by professional athletes, and battles over immigration to show how conflicts over group identity are an inescapable feature of American political development. Brown-Dean explores issues of citizenship, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, and religion to argue that democracy in the United States is built upon the battle of ideas related to how we see ourselves, how we see others, and the mechanisms available to reinforce those distinctions. Identity Politics in the United States will be an essential resource for students and engaged citizens who want to understand the link between historical context, contemporary political challenges, and paths to move toward a stronger democracy.
