In \u003ci\u003eRe-Imagining Black Women\u003c\/i\u003e, Nikol G. Alexander-Floyd explores how Black women--and Blackness more broadly--are understood in our political imagination and often become the subjects of public controversy. \u003cbr\u003eDrawing on politics, popular culture, psychoanalysis, and more, Alexander-Floyd examines our conflicting ideas, opinions, and narratives about Black women, showing how they are equally revered and reviled as an embodiment of good and evil, cast either as victims or villains, citizens or outsiders. \u003cbr\u003eUltimately, Alexander-Floyd showcases the complex experiences of Black women as political subjects. At a time of extreme racial tension, \u003ci\u003eRe-Imagining Black Women\u003c\/i\u003e provides insight into the parts that Black women play, and are expected to play, in politics and popular culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nikol G.
