Yet, for decades, black women's suicide rates have remained virtually nonexistent compared to the rest of the American population, baffling social scientists. In this book, black women speak for themselves about their life struggles and their notions of suicide. Within a framework that explores racial and gender inequalities, Spates uses interviews to uncover reasons for the racial suicide paradox. Her analysis offers a deeper understanding of the positive life strategies, including family and faith, that underlie black women's resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e-Provides insights into the impact of a variety of racial and gender inequalities\u003cbr\u003e-Vivid use of qualitative approaches to shed light on a statistical paradox\u003cbr\u003e-Highlights a positive image of black women and their resilience\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kamesha Spates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612050425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612050423\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"Kamesha Spates","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136069423359,"sku":"9781612050423","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5740d52-e3a7-4253-b6ff-3e63356335eb.jpg?v=1726415593","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-dont-kill-us-makes-kamesha-spates-9781612050423","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
