SISTER CITIZEN: SHAME, STEREOTYPES, AND BLACK WOMEN IN AMERICA -- FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO’VE CONSIDERED POLITICS WHEN BEING STRONG ISN’T ENOUGH

Book ID/图书代码： 00500011B45396

English Summary/英文概要： Jezebel’s sexual lasciviousness, Mammy’s devotion, and Sapphire’s outspoken anger—these are among the most persistent stereotypes that black women encounter in contemporary American life. Hurtful and dishonest, such representations force African American women to navigate a virtual crooked room that shames them and shapes their experiences as citizens. Many respond by assuming a mantle of strength that may convince others, and even themselves, that they do not need help. But as a result, the unique political issues of black women are often ignored and marginalized.

In this groundbreaking book, Melissa V. Harris-Perry uses multiple methods of inquiry, including literary analysis, political theory, focus groups, surveys, and experimental research, to understand more deeply black women’s political and emotional responses to pervasive negative race and gender images. Not a traditional political science work concerned with office-seeking, voting, or ideology, Sister Citizen instead explores how African American women understand themselves as citizens and what they expect from political organizing. Harris-Perry shows that the shared struggle to preserve an authentic self and secure recognition as a citizen links together black women in America, from the anonymous survivors of Hurricane Katrina to the current First Lady of the United States.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 吉萨贝尔代表性淫荡，妈咪代表奉献，蓝宝石代表愤怒---这些是黑人女性在当代美国生活中最常遇到的思维定式。

这些造成伤害的、不真实的象征迫使非洲裔美国妇女生活在虚拟的扭曲的空间内，着实使她们感到羞愧，并蹉跎着她们作为公民的岁月。许多人披上了坚强的外衣作为回应，说服别人甚至是自己，她们不需要帮助。但结果却是黑人女性这个特有的政治问题通常被忽视和边缘化。

在这本有所突破的书中，梅丽莎.V.哈里斯-斐瑞采用了多种探讨方法，来更深刻地理解黑人女性，对普遍存在的种族负面影响和性别、形象的政治问题和情感反应进行思考，包括文学分析，政治理论，分组座谈会，调查，和实验研究。

《女性公民》不是一部传统的有关寻找职位，投票或意识形态的政治科学作品，它反映探究的是非洲裔美国女性如何认识自己的公民身份以及她们期望从政治组织那里得到什么。哈里斯.斐瑞展示了为保持自我而进行的挣扎和寻求公民身份的认可，这些把在美国的黑人女性联系在一起---从卡崔娜飓风的匿名生还者到现任的美国第一夫人。(兼职翻译-PZ)
