The Conspiracy to Destroy a Black Woman

The contention that women, particularly black women, have endured a secondary status in American society persists, and despite progress, they continue to face pervasive discrimination across various aspects of life. This book introduces a new viewpoint on the diverse dimensions of sexism encountered by African American women. It delves into critical issues such as wage inequality, domestic violence, and the increasing prevalence of AIDS among black women. Additionally, it explores the origins of sexism within the African American male community, investigating the impact of gangster rap music on perceptions of black women, while also proposing strategies for fostering change.
