This Will Be My Undoing - by Morgan Jerkins (Paperback)

Morgan Jerkins' "This Will Be My Undoing" is a groundbreaking collection of linked essays that interweaves personal experience with incisive commentary on pop culture, feminism, black history, misogyny, and racism.

With unflinching honesty, Jerkins explores the social, cultural, and historical story of black female oppression that influences both the black community and the white, male-dominated world at large.

Whether she's writing about Sailor Moon; Rachel Dolezal; the stigma of therapy; her complex relationship with her own physical body; the pain of dating when men say they don't "see color"; being a black visitor in Russia; the specter of "the fast-tailed girl" and the paradox of black female sexuality; or disabled black women in the context of the "Black Girl Magic" movement, Jerkins is both narrator and subject, exposing the systemic injustices that have dictated the realities of American black women for centuries.

With a prodigious intellect and curiosity, Jerkins lucidly articulates social dynamics that have dictated the realities of American black women for centuries.

This book is a must-read for everyone in this country, as it exposes the systemic injustices that have dictated the realities of American black women for centuries.
