Mark Anthony Neal is joined by scholar and author
Treva Blaine Lindsey (@divafeminist), author of
Colored No More: Reinventing Black Womanhood in Washington, D.C.
(University of Illinois Press, 2017), which noted Historian Martha S. Jones describes as “Fresh research, illuminated by feminist theory” that “reveals how 'New Negro Womanhood' became a framework through which African American women developed modern identities.”
Lindsey, who is Associate Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at The Ohio State University, returned to Duke University, where she earned a Ph.D. in 2010, as part of the Symposium,
Black Women, Black Studies and Knowledge Production
. In her book Professor Lindsey presents New Negro womanhood as a multidimensional space that included race women, blues women, mothers, white collar professionals, beauticians, fortune tellers, sex workers, same-gender couples, artists, activists, and innovators.
