Conclusion
In this edited volume, contributors interpret and reinterpret popular culture, education, religious organizations, and social movements through the lens of womanism, Black women’s unique histories and strategies for survival that foreground resistance to white supremacy, collective uplift, and spirituality. The chapters are interdisciplinary, topical, and accessible. They are self-contained and so can be assigned separately for course readings.
