Call Me By My Right Name: The Politics of African American Women and Girls Negotiating Citizenship and Identity

Abstract Details

2012, Doctor of Philosophy, Miami University, Educational Leadership.
African American women and girls have struggled to define themselves independent of a public curriculum, supported by education, politics, social commentary and community, that continues to define us in relationship to work, sex and motherhood. This study will select current manifestations of controlling images, and, in the tradition of Critical Race Feminism, historicize and speak back to the ideologies that support such derogatory images of African American womanhood. This study will provide a discussion of the multiple discourses of citizenship and public curriculum, and then connect them to the histories and heritages which have constructed differentiated citizenship in America, and has created the public curriculum which legitimates it.
