Sister Citizen: Shame, Stereotypes, and Black Women in America by Melissa V. Harris-Perry

4.0

Great analysis and relevant/helpful depictions of all the stereotypes mentioned and their real-life political and social implications. Towards the end, however, MHP starts to throw in all of her perhaps newfound analysis about black female church life and the implications of Michelle Obama and this feels a lot less deliberate, substantiated, and well-developed than her earlier chapters do. Still great, and highly recommended by yours truly.

P.s. Can be borrowed as an audiobook on Hoopla, for those of you with awesome library systems. :)
