Story4.5 out of 5 stars 58
According to the 2010 US census, more than 70 percent of Black women in America are unmarried. Black Women, Black Love reveals how four centuries of laws, policies, and customs have created that crisis. Dianne Stewart begins in the colonial era, when slave owners denied Blacks the right to marry, divided families, and, in many cases, raped enslaved women and girls. Later, during Reconstruction and the ensuing decades, violence split couples again as millions embarked on the Great Migration north.

Informative, but you need your dictionary if you don’t have a huge vocabulary.

The first two chapters were very hard to listen to. I Felt like I was traumatizing my soul with the first two chapters. The remaining chapters were very informative about how the black family has been destroyed slowly over many decades. This book has inspired me to strive for better things in life. This book is written for someone with a huge vocabulary, so you may need to have your dictionary handy to refer to frequently.
