Carefree Black Girls: A Celebration of Black Women in Pop Culture by Zeba Blay
5.0
A well rounded perspective on Black women in pop culture and how it informs and influences us. I know the word nuance is overused these day but this book has it. It expands on pop culture with an equally critical and gracious perspective. Some of themes explored in this book are colorism, being “problematic”, fatphobia, the limitations of representation and what exactly it means to be care free (or free of cares). I appreciate that Blay balances her critiques with grace, even when speaking about herself and the way her own thinking has evolved.
