Double Burden: Black Women and Everyday Racism (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781563249440)

Departing from conventional studies of black women, which characterize them as domineering matriarchs, prostitutes and welfare queens, this text uses the concept of a "collective memory" to show how black women cope with and interpret lives often pervaded with racial barriers not of their making.
