Race, culture, and gender : Black female experiences of violence and abuse / Ava Kanyeredzi.

• Silenced through fear, threats, and betrayal : a continuum of opposition -- Silenced, shamed, speaking out and the strong Black woman -- Silenced and out of place : feeling like a nugatory self -- Feeling through the silences, seeking support, and being "saved" -- Learning to hear the silences.

• This book presents an in-depth account of nine Black British women's experiences of violence and abuse. Through in depth interviews and analysis the author reveals their feelings of being silenced as children, women, Black women and as victims/survivors. Being silenced or staying silent about experiences of violence and abuse are key influences in how and when women access help and support and Kanyeredzi illuminates missed opportunities in how and when this help and support can and should be given. Based on women's descriptions of how they felt supported, listened to, yet 'unheard', chapters explore what professionals might face in the process of supporting Black women who access these services. The book contributes valuable understanding to the growing literature discussing challenges faced by minoritised women attempting to live full lives in the UK. It also includes images created as part of the project. This book is a useful resource for victims/survivors, students, researchers, clinical psychologists, counsellors, health professionals, social workers, educators and specialised violence support organisations.
