One Book One Bronx - Killing the Black Body

  • BronxArtSpace (entrance on Spofford Ave) (map)

Join us at BAS to take part in One Book One Bronx discussions of Killing the Black Body by Dorothy E. Roberts.

This book is a no-holds-barred response to the liberal and conservative retreat from an assertive, activist, and socially transformative civil rights agenda of recent years - using a Black feminist lens and the issue of the impact of recent legislation, social policy, and welfare "reform" on Black women's - especially poor Black women's - control over their bodies' autonomy.
