Through Black Eyes
African American Womens Constructions of Their Experiences With Intimate Male Partner Violence
Shondrah Tarrezz Nash
Morehead State University
This research explores Black womens experiences with intimate male partner violence through interview data from nine former physically, emotionally, and sexually abused African American wives. It urges a womanist analysis of Black womens abuse experiences and, thus, considers how systems of inequalities, especially gender and race, help foster less-explored constructions of and reactions to intimate male partner violence. Findings suggest that participants observations on Black mens social marginalization, educational and economic disparities between Black partners, Black womens role in safeguarding Black men, and gendered scripts on traditions of resistance influenced their perspectives on the causes of and responses to abuse.
