Koritha Mitchell, "From Slave Cabins to the White House: Homemade Citizenship in African American Culture "
English | ISBN: 0252086317 | 2021 | 296 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Koritha Mitchell analyzes canonical texts by and about African American women to lay bare the hostility these women face as they invest in traditional domesticity. Instead of the respectability and safety granted white homemakers, black women endure pejorative labels, racist governmental policies, attacks on their citizenship, and aggression meant to keep them in "their place."
