Black Women at Work: On Refusal and Recovery” by Wendi S. Williams examines the enduring impact of patriarchy and white supremacy on Black women’s labor. It connects their modern-day workplace struggles to the historical exploitation rooted in slavery. The book shifts its focus from acknowledging inequities to celebrating Black women’s labor, refusal practices, and the power of choice and voice. Through personal narratives and social media reflections, Williams presents a path of recovery and reclamation, advocating for dismantling systemic injustices and moving toward collective freedom.
