In this compact work, the author discusses her decision to be a single, childfree atheist--an identity that is far different than the dominant narrative of what it means to be a Black American woman. In a clear, articulate, balanced (and humorous!) voice, she describes her journey, and its challenges, without proselytizing. This book is inspirational for women trying to find their own way in the world and affirming for women who already own their choices. Highly recommended. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

"Through eight humorous essays, Keturah Kendrick chronicles her journey to freedom. She shares the stories of other women who have freed themselves from the narrow definition of what makes a "proper woman." Spotlighting the cultural bullying that dictates women must become mothers to the expectation that one's spiritual path follow the traditions of previous generations, Kendrick imagines a world where black women make life choices that center on their needs and desires. She also examines the rising trend of women choosing to remain single and explores how such a choice is the antithesis to the trope of the sorrowful black woman who cannot find a man to grant her the prize of legal partnership. A mixture of memoir and cultural critique, No Thanks uses wit and insight to paint a picture of the twenty-first-century black woman who has unchained herself from what she is supposed to be. A black woman who has given herself permission to be whomever she wants to be."--Publisher's description. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
