Melissa Harris Perry: I was waiting for an author who wouldnt forget, ignore, or erase us black girls...I was waiting and she has come in Brittney Cooper.Michael Eric Dyson: Cooper may be the boldest young feminist writing today...and she will make you laugh out loud.So what if its true that Black women are mad as hell? They have the right to be. In the Black feminist tradition of Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper reminds us that anger is a powerful source of energy that can give us the strength to keep on fighting.Far too often, Black womens anger has been caricatured into an ugly and destructive force that threatens the civility and social fabric of American democracy. But Cooper shows us that there is more to the story than that. Black womens eloquent rage is what makes Serena Williams such a powerful tennis player. Its what makes Beyonc s girl power anthems resonate so hard. Its what makes Michelle Obama an icon. Eloquent rage keeps us all honest and accountable. It reminds women that they dont have to settle for less. When Cooper learned of her grandmothers eloquent rage about love, sex, and marriage in an epic and hilarious front-porch confrontation, her life was changed. And it took another intervention, this time staged by one of her homegirls, to turn Brittney into the fierce feminist she is today. In Brittney Coopers world, neither mean girls nor fuckboys ever win. But homegirls emerge as heroes. This book argues that ultimately feminism, friendship, and faith in ones own superpowers are all we really need to turn things right side up again.A BEST/MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2018 BY: Glamour - Chicago Reader - Bustle - AutostraddleAbout the AuthorBrittney Cooper is a professor of Womens and Gender Studies and Africana Studies at Rutgers University, she cofounded the Crunk Collective, and her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Ebony, and The Root, among many others.
