Interrogating a status quo that perpetuates white supremacist ideas about who Black women are, how they live in their bodies, and what Black health means, she creates a context for understanding how whiteness and capitalism have shaped the ways we view and treat our bodies, and how even well-intentioned solutions to this problem continue to center thin white women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With an incisive blend of historical documents, the work of popular authors, and the narratives of clients, friends, and celebrities, Wilson examines the ways that ideas about respectability and restriction have harmed Black women. With wit and levity, she challenges what it means to have the “right” body, and helps all women understand that a radical reimagining of body narratives is a prerequisite for vibrant wellbeing. \u003ci\u003eIt’s Always Been Ours\u003c\/i\u003e is a love letter that encourages Black women to find joy in their bodies and their identities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e “There simply is no better literary voice for this moment in history than Jessica Wilson.”—Sonya Renee Taylor, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author, \u003ci\u003eThe Body is Not an Apology  \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49348666622256,"sku":"BDgdup","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49348666655024,"sku":"ZEgdup","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/369059-gdup-Square.jpg?v=1734229995","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-gdup","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
