Her work on Black women and girls, race, gender, sexuality, culture, and politics encompasses the far-reaching and often untold effects of current events and pop culture moments on marginalized communities. Her most recent title, AMERICA, GODDAM , chronicles multiple forms of violence against Black women and girls in the twenty-first century and illuminates their fight for liberation against it. With this book, Treva B. Lindsey compels readers to sit with how the U.S. has failed Black women and girls by interweaving personal accounts, hard-hitting analysis, history, and current events.
