Reviews

Goldman and Waymer provide a path for others to understand the complications associated with the process of social construction of reality in general, and Black women, specifically. Their book provides a clear, concise research study which could be used as one of the main texts in a Black Studies or Gender Studies course. (Amy Muckleroy Carwile, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly Volume 94, Issue 4/2017)
