Introduces the psychologies of womanists and mujeristas - African American women and Latinas, respectively, who have a broad and inclusive approach to feminism and liberation. As opposed to much general psychology literature that pathologises or marginalises the experiences of African American women and Latinas, this book centralises their psyches and unpacks the underexplored areas of their historical and contemporary ways of knowing and approaches to living.
