Episode 19 - The Boundaries of Blackness with Cathy Cohen - a podcast by The Lit Review

The central question addressed in The Boundaries of Blackness is: Why, when faced with a disease that was threatening significant numbers of Black people, did Black leaders and dominant institutions fail to take action? In her book, Cathy Cohen systematically examines the roles that politics, racism, and marginalization played in limiting the resources allocated to fighting AIDS in Black communities.

?This week, we got the chance to talk directly with Cathy about her research. Tune in to learn more about this history and what it means for our movements. During this time of global insistence that "Black lives matter" it is critical we study the historic "boundaries of Blackness" if we truly desire to transform the world for ALL Black lives to be valued and supported.
