Jezebel Unhinged

Jezebel Unhinged by Tamura Lomax explores how the jezebel stereotype has been used within the Black church and popular culture to control and define Black womanhood, reinforcing gender and racial hierarchies. Drawing on historical and cultural analysis, the author examines how this stereotype perpetuates notions of sexual deviation and influences contemporary religious figures' messages. Lomax highlights Black women's resistance to these stereotypes and discusses pathways toward healing and liberation within Black communities.
