AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN'S IDENTITY: A BIBLIOGRAPHY

(compiled by Xenturah Monique Woodley and Dr. Carmen Williams)

The majority of the items included in the bibliography deal with either gender identity or racial identity, very few dealt with gender and race as they related to Black women specifically. However, we feel that it is necessary to include all of these articles/chapters in our writing and research. This bibliography is not offered as the SOLE bibliography on Black women's identity, instead is being offered as a starting point for researchers interested in issues relative to African-American female identity.
