As Minna Salami considers these questions, she offers fresh insights on key cultural issue that impact women's lives-racism, power, beauty, and knowledge, as well as Afrofuturism, radical Black feminist, and gender politics-all with a historical outlook that is also future-oriented. She draws upon a range of traditions and ideologies, feminist theory, popular culture-including insights from Louryn Hill, Beyoncé, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, and others-science, philosophy, African myths and origin stories, and her own bold personal story to establish a language for change and self-liberation. In this enthralling meditation, Salami asks women to break free of the prison made by ingrained male-centric biases and build a house themselves-a home that can nurture us all. Book jacket.
