Black women \"shift\" by altering the expectations they have for themselves or their outer appearance. They modify their speech. They shift \"white\" as they head to work in the morning and \"Black\" as they come back home each night. They shift inward, internalizing the searing pain of the negative stereotypes that they encounter daily. And sometimes they shift by fighting back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith deeply moving interviews, poignantly revealed on each page, \u003cem\u003eShifting\u003c\/em\u003e is a much-needed, clear, and comprehensive portrait of the reality of African American women's lives today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67613604741487,"sku":"9780060090555","price":115.81,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/internacional.umlivro.com.br\/products\/shifting","provider":"UmLivro Internacional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
