Maria del Guadalupe Davidson - Black Women, Agency, and the New Black Feminism

This book has been a long time in coming. I would like to begin by thanking Linda Perkins, who, after hearing me give a paper on this topic at the National Womens Association annual conference, invited me to speak at Claremont Graduate University. Linda, thanks for giving me the spark I needed to write this book. I would also like to thank my friends at the University of Oklahoma for their continued support of this project, especially Kirsten Edwards, Elon Dancy, and Melli Velazquez. And, a special thanks to my dear friend and brother, Dr. George Yancy. Im so fortunate to have you in my life.

It has been a pleasure working with Routledge Press and I want to say a special thank you to Max Novice and Jennifer Morrow, who began this project with me, and to Elena Chiu and Emily Briggs, who got me to the finish line. I could not have asked for a kinder and more supportive team of professionals. Finally, Id like to thank my friend, partner, mi vida , Scott Davidson, for walking through this world with me. Our kids (Yannick, Kolya, and Yelena) are so lucky to have you as their father.
