Abstract:
Black-Woman: and other stories, a twelve story collection, provides a glimpse into the
lives of various black Americans as they navigate such issues as loneliness, adulthood,
and desire. Told from a variety of perspectives and backgrounds, the collection utilizes
themes of “us vs. them” and “innocence vs. experience” in an effort to dismantle
preconceived notions, and highlight the diversity within “blackness.”
