How for example, does #sayhername translate into a political agenda that manifests itself in specific policies? Shadow Bodies focuses on the positionality of the Black woman's body, which serves as a springboard for helping us think through political and cultural representations. It does so by asking: How do discursive practices, both speech and silences, support and maintain hegemonic understandings of Black womanhood thereby rendering some Black women as shadow bodies, unseen and unremarked upon? Grounded in Black feminist thought, Julia S. Jordan-Zachery looks at the functioning of scripts ascribed to Black women's bodies in the framing of HIV/AIDS, domestic abuse, and mental illness and how such functioning renders some bodies invisible in Black politics in general and Black women's politics specifically. 606 $aAfrican American women$xSocial conditions 606 $aFeminism 615 0$aAfrican American women$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aFeminism. 676 $a305.48896073 700 $aJordan-Zachery$b Julia Sheron$01675589 702 $aJordan-Zachery$b Julia S., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807944603321 996 $aShadow bodies$94041187 997 $aUNINA
