<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This book dissects "post-politics"--the repertoire of fantasies that hope for an afterlife beyond the social activism of the mid-Twentieth Century. Fusing political science, women's studies, media studies, and psychoanalysis, it provides a tour-de-force of Black politics, tackling gender and other subjects repressed or disavowed in the study of race"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A wide-ranging Black feminist interrogation, reaching from the #MeToo movement to the legacy of gender-based violence against Black women</b><br>From Michelle Obama to Condoleezza Rice, Black women are uniquely scrutinized in the public eye. In <i>Re-Imagining Black Women</i>, Nikol G. Alexander-Floyd explores how Black women--and Blackness more broadly--are understood in our political imagination and often become the subjects of public controversy. <br>Drawing on politics, popular culture, psychoanalysis, and more, Alexander-Floyd examines our conflicting ideas, opinions, and narratives about Black women, showing how they are equally revered and reviled as an embodiment of good and evil, cast either as victims or villains, citizens or outsiders. <br>Ultimately, Alexander-Floyd showcases the complex experiences of Black women as political subjects. At a time of extreme racial tension, <i>Re-Imagining Black Women</i> provides insight into the parts that Black women play, and are expected to play, in politics and popular culture.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Alexander-Floyd has written a provocative, hard-hitting analysis of Black political matters, ranging from Condolezza Rice, to Barack Obama to Bill Cosby to R. Kelly.

Giddings, author of Ida: A Sword Among Lions<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Nikol G. Alexander</b>-<b>Floyd</b> is Associate Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University, New Brunswick.
