Deliberately writing against archival erasure and death-driven logics of anti-Blackness, this volume chronicles Black women's aliveness, ethics of care, and rituals of healing. The nineteen contributors from interdisciplinary fields and diverse backgrounds situate Black women's multidimensional experiences with COVID-19 and other violences that affect their lives. The stories they tell are connected and interwoven, bound together by anti-Black gendered COVID necropolitics and commitments to creating new spaces for breathing, healing, and wellness.

Focuses on the positionality of the Black woman's body, which serves as a springboard for helping us think through political and cultural representations. < em>Shadow Bodies does so by asking: How do discursive practices support and maintain hegemonic understandings of Black womanhood thereby rendering some Black women as shadow bodies, unseen and unremarked upon?
