I have attempted to integrate several of psychologist and professor Carol Gilligans ideas and psychological concepts to literally write through a black lens. My book, Through a Black Lens, is a nonfictional novel that psychologically describes the life experiences of black women through a black historical lens. Considering the psychological effects of the sociopolitical climate blacks wrote under, I describe why I believe black female authors left a literary legacy for their black daughters through their writing. It was the intention of outstanding black female authors to preserve their historical experiences in their written works and to create historical literature that can be remembered through the relational experiences of their daughters lives. This is what creates the commonality in the language, the content of their literature, and the lives of black women. And I believe it is this legacy that establishes the underpinnings of the black feminine criticism that will best frame the black womans standpoint epistemology.

Bridging theory and practice, this accessible text considers fashion from both cultural studies and fashion studies perspectives, and addresses the growing interaction between the two fields. Kaiser and Green use a wide range of cross-cultural case studies to explore how race, ethnicity, class, gender and other identities intersect and are produced through embodied fashion. Drawing on intersectionality in feminist theory and cultural studies, Fashion and Cultural Studies is essential reading for students and scholars. This revised edition includes updated case studies and two new chapters. The first new chapter explores religion, spirituality, and faith in relation to style, fashion, and dress. The second offers a critique of “beauty” and considers dressed embodiment inclusive of diverse sizes, shapes and dis/abilities. Throughout the text, Kaiser and Green use a range of examples to interrogate the complex entanglements of production, regulation, distribution, consumption, and subject formation within and through fashion.
