At least that's what everyone says and how they are constantly depicted. But what, exactly, does this strength entail? And what price do Black women pay for it? In this book, the author, a psychologist and pastoral theologian, examines the burdensome yoke that the ideology of the Strong Black Woman places upon African American women. She demonstrates how the three core features of the ideology--emotional strength, caregiving, and independence--constrain the lives of African American women and predispose them to physical and emotional health problems, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and anxiety. She traces the historical, social, and theological influences that resulted in the evolution and maintenance of the Strong Black Woman, including the Christian church, R & B and hip-hop artists, and popular television and film. Drawing upon womanist pastoral theology and twelve-step philosophy, she calls upon pastoral caregivers to aid in the healing of African American women's identities. 650 0 $a African American women $x Health and hygiene. 650 0 $a African American women $x Psychology. 650 0 $a African American women $x Religion. 941 $a 1 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20171220011615.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BF35341EE55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
