What sustains them? While scholars have long documented sexism, racism, and classism in the academy, one topic has been conspicuously absent from the literature--how Black women academics have found joy in the midst of adversity. Moving beyond questions of resilience, labor for others, and coping, \u003ci\u003eWhen Will the Joy Come?\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the journeys of over thirty Black women at various stages of their careers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Joy is a mixture of well-being, pleasure, alignment, and purpose that can be elusive for Black women scholars. With racial reckoning and a global pandemic as context, this volume brings together honest and vital essays that ponder how Black women balance fatigue and frustrations in the halls of the ivory tower, and explore where, when, and if joy enters their lives. By carefully contemplating the emotional, physical, and material consequences of their labor, this collection demonstrates that joy is a tactical and strategic component of Black women's struggle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Phylisia Chapdelaine, Abena Ampofoa Asare, Michelle Dionne Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1625347375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625347374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Massachusetts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Robin Phylisia Chapdelaine","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44074565566719,"sku":"9781625347374","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd9ebd7f-462f-4c94-8e42-6c91bcdaa1a4.jpg?v=1685454490","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-when-will-the-joy-robin-phylisia-chapdelaine-9781625347374","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
