SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Grounded in Black feminist thought, Julia S. Jordan-Zachery looks at the functioning of scripts ascribed to Black women's bodies in the framing of HIV/AIDS, domestic abuse, and mental illness and how such functioning renders some black female bodies invisible in Black politics in general and Black women's politics specifically.
