"A masterpiece . . . Mondé and Stringer collaborated to create a robust volume of autoethnographic scholarship that provides a better understanding of how Black feminism, as a conceptual framework and tool of liberation, is accessible to individuals throughout the academy and beyond. The graceful insights of the contributors provide spaces that focus on intentional value and visibility of Black women."

“In Spaces for Resistance, Mondé and Stringer follow the paths of Ida B. Wells, Patricia Hill Collins, and Kimberlé Crenshaw, and have championed a volume about Black feminism as a way of life. Black women academics, practitioners, community advocates, and graduate students share scholarship and stories in their own voices to present Black feminism as a robust lens that can illumine individual and group experiences inside and outside academia. Contexts vary—from educational, national, and international terrain to motherhood and marriage—as writers detail how professional and personal relationships have been informed by this schema. This book shows that resistance can manifest in many ways as Black women have and continue to develop authentic forms of being and doing. Spaces for Resistance is a must-read for anyone interested in examining contemporary practices of creating and cultivating resistance and transformation.
