With searing honesty, intimacy and humor too, America's leading young black feminist celebrates the power of rage in this piercing new audiobook.So what if it's true that Black women are mad as hell? They have the right to be. In the Black feminist tradition of Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper reminds us that anger is a powerful source of energy that can give us the strength to keep on fighting.Far too often, Black women's anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that. Black women's eloquent rage is what makes Serena Williams such a powerful tennis player. It's what makes Beyoncé's girl power anthems resonate so hard. It's what makes Michelle Obama an icon. Eloquent rage keeps us all honest and accountable. It reminds women that they don't have to settle for less. When Cooper learned of her grandmother's eloquent rage about love, sex, and marriage in an epic and hilarious front-porch confrontation, her life was changed. And it took another intervention, this time staged by one of her homegirls, to turn Brittney into the fierce feminist she is today. In Brittney Cooper's world, neither mean girls nor fuckboys ever win. But homegirls emerge as heroes. This audiobook argues that ultimately feminism, friendship, and faith in one's own superpowers are all we really need to turn things right side up agai… (mehr)

I enjoyed this audiobook, but I did not learn much from it. Most of what she talked about, I knew and was pondering about anyway. BUT, that doesn't mean that the book isn't worth reading. Brittney Cooper is blunt, honest, and does not pull any punches as she talks about Feminism and being Black in America. She talks about things that many Black kids face that their White peers don't. She talks about how poverty affects growing up and how it can make it so you must do the things you're scared of. She talks about how the school to prison pipeline has made it almost impossible for a generation of Black women to find partners.

It's important to learn these things and talk about them. Unless we acknowledge things - truths that are hard to hear - we will never cause real change to happen. I'm very glad I listened to this book even tho' I didn't really learn anything new. It's still important to emphasize the topics brought up in this book and it's still important to learn more so we can affect real change. ( )

I happened to read this while Surviving R. Kelly was released and damn do they pair well. Brittney Cooper explains difficulties black women have in feminist circles and black advocates because both disregard black women. The essays are a mixture of her personal experiences and what she has learned through formal education and research. ( )

The mix of Black feminist theory and memoir was right up my alley. It's a fabulous listen, too, on audio. ( )

A really great book on the Black Woman experience in America - where the rage comes from, how to keep moving. Very instructive and illuminating on the forces and history that have molded us into the where we are now positions. ( )
