"An engaging and informative read. Christina Carney's adept and thoughtful analysis of the ways black women created lives and communities for themselves within the context of structural racism and state violence offers important contributions to black studies and black feminist studies, particularly by highlighting how these women enacted resistance."--Christina Baker, Associate Professor of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies, University of California, Merced
"Disreputable Women represents the very best of new scholarship in the fields of queer and black feminist history: interdisciplinary, evidence rich, and conceptually sophisticated. This book promises to be the rare text that might appeal to historians, ethnographers, literary scholars, and students and researchers alike."--Mireille Miller-Young, Associate Professor of Feminist Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara
