Jackson Introduction Chapter 1 Background and Theoretical Framing Chapter 2 Myth of the Strong Black Woman: Asset or Liability Chapter 3 Faithtalk: God's Got It Chapter 4 Embracing the Pink Identity: Black Women and Pink Ribbon Culture Chapter 5 Work and Family Conclusion: Body Politics, Coping, and Reframing the Narrative
Synopsis
Health Communication and Breast Cancer among Black Women: Culture, Identity, Spirituality, and Strength addresses how the discourse of strength constructs the identity of Black women even during times of chronic illness through the lens of Black feminist thought and womanist ideology. In doing so, Madlock Gatison explores how the narratives surrounding pink ribbon awareness and survivorship culture, religion and spirituality, and the myth of the strong Black woman impact Black female breast cancer survivors' self-perceptions, views others had of them, and their ability to express their needs and concerns including those involving their healthcare. This book will be of interest to scholars of public health, health communication, and sociology., Health Communication and Breast Cancer among Black Women: Cancer, Identity, Spirituality, and Strength analyzes information collected from focus groups and personal interviews in order to investigate the significant sociocultural narratives that pervade the experiences of Black female breast cancer survivors.
