520 This work is an intervention of self-representation that
explores experiences of five Black mothers of the same
Chicago elementary school with respect to their
relationship with the author ́ℓℓ a qualitative researcher
́ℓℓ over a period of two years. Black feminist
epistemology is the framework that directed this project,
fieldwork, and interpretation of the findings.
Additionally, this work employs tools of poetry,
counternarratives, and critical ethnography. Billye
Sankofa Waters reiterates the plaintive lament of the
mothers of 1970s Boston when they said, ́ℓℓWhen we fight
about education wéℓℓre fighting for our lives.́ℓℓ This
story of parents in Chicago is powerful, poignant, and oh
so familiar. This is a must read!́ℓℓ ́ℓℓ Gloria Ladson-
Billings, Kellner Family Distinguished Chair in Urban
Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison the ways that
Black mothers come to know and participate in their
childreńℓℓs education. We Can Speak for Ourselves plumbs
Black feminist epistemology and critical theory to create
a new model that reimagines the critical terrain of both
public and private African American female
́ℓℓmotherwork.́ℓℓ It is intersectionally deft in how it
attends to both structural issues of inequality and
intragroup negotiation of identity. This book is bold,
well-researched and an important contribution to the
fields of Education, Sociology, Womeńℓℓs and Gender
Studies and Public Policy.́ℓℓ ́ℓℓ Michele T. Berger,
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; author of
Workable Sisterhood: The Political Journey of Stigmatized
Women with HIV/AIDS and co-author of Transforming
Scholarship: Why Womeńℓℓs and Gender Studies Students Are
Changing Themselves and the World We Can Speak for
Ourselves is a necessary read for everyone, especially
Black mothers, who are on the front lines of the Black
Lives Matter Movement. After all, the movement at its core
is about resisting the anti-Black society in which Black
mothers are forced to raise their children. Sankofa Waters
beautifully blends personal writings, counternarratives,
and the voices of five Black mothers to create a book that
gives us new language to address the issues impacting
Black families and Black survival. Through this work,
Sankofa Waters expertly depicts the struggles of Black
mothers as organic intellectuals deconstructing,
critiquing, and navigating the power structures that
oppress their sons, daughters, and Black communities at
large.́ℓℓ ́ℓℓ Bettina L. Love, University of Georgia;
Board Chair of The Kindezi School in Atlanta, Georgia;

Institute at Harvard University; and author of Hip Hoṕℓℓs

Politics in the New South.
