Misogynoir Transformed: Black Women's Digital Resistance

By Moya Bailey, MLK Visiting Professor in the MIT Program in Women's and Gender Studies

NYU Press · 2021

When Bailey first coined the term "misogynoir," she defined it as the ways anti-Black and misogynistic representation shape broader ideas about Black women, particularly in visual culture and digital spaces. In this book, Bailey shows how Black women actively reimagine the world by engaging in powerful forms of digital resistance at a time when anti-Black misogyny is thriving.
