The majority of the items included in the bibliography deal
with either gender identity or racial identity, very few dealt with
gender and race as they related to Black women specifically. However, we
feel that it is necessary to include all of these articles/chapters in
our writing and research. This bibliography is not offered as the SOLE
bibliography on Black women's identity, instead is being offered as a
starting point for researchers interested in issues relative to
African-American female identity.
