Why We Hate Black Women - Deconstructing the Paradox of Black Female Masculinity

GHO's "Women Haters, Why Women Hate Other Women" show was so popular we decided to go one step further. Join show host, Pamela Chapman, and Hasani Pettiford, author as they discuss his book Why We Hate Black Women - Deconstructing the Paradox of Black Female Masculinity. Why We Hate Black Women is a book that takes a critical look at the historical and contemporary lives of Black women in order to answer one question: Why are so many black women abused, abandoned, betrayed, devalued and hated by both their white and black counterparts? This quest for truth opens up a cultural Pandora's Box of issues that date back over 400 years. Whether we're discussing corporate women, college women, church women or economically challenged women, their stories are the same. Whether they've reached the heights of an Oprah Winfrey or have struggled to make ends meet, there is one chord that binds them all together - the stigma of what it means to be black and female in America. As an award-winning author and speaker, Hasani Pettiford has an appeal that transcends barriers of age, culture and occupation. For over a decade Mr. Pettiford has been a recognized authority on human sexuality, interpersonal relationships and personal growth and development. Join us for this lively and enlightening topic.
