Recently, Dr. Barlow and scholars published What The Health (WTH)?: Theorising Southern Black Feminisms in the US South. Scholars note that “this theoretical article, informed by qualitative and quantitative data from both authors’ previous research, will build a profile for Southern Black women in the US, characterise Southern Black Feminisms and propose a Southern Black woman informed, evidence-based framework addressing health inequities among Southern Black women” (19). Scholars’ “goal is to demonstrate how the experiences of everyday Black women in the US South and the Global South are connected, especially with African Diasporic women, and consider how potential alliances can contribute to collective resistance and action” (19).
