關於本電子書

I have attempted to integrate several of psychologist and professor Carol Gilligans ideas and psychological concepts to literally write through a black lens. My book, Through a Black Lens, is a nonfictional novel that psychologically describes the life experiences of black women through a black historical lens. Considering the psychological effects of the sociopolitical climate blacks wrote under, I describe why I believe black female authors left a literary legacy for their black daughters through their writing. It was the intention of outstanding black female authors to preserve their historical experiences in their written works and to create historical literature that can be remembered through the relational experiences of their daughters lives. This is what creates the commonality in the language, the content of their literature, and the lives of black women. And I believe it is this legacy that establishes the underpinnings of the black feminine criticism that will best frame the black womans standpoint epistemology.

S. Leona Green was born in Columbus Ohio, 1952 and graduated from the Ohio State University in 1984 with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Journalism. Between 1985 and 1992 I reported for the Call and Post Newspaper in Columbus and was a Special Education Substitute teacher in Columbus City Schools. Upon being assigned a long-term position subbing with Columbus City Schools at Franklin County’s Detention Center, I became Facility Manager working daily with many youth who suffered trauma. Leaving there I enrolled into Capital University’s law school and took a position with the State of Ohio, in Legislative and Communicative Affairs. After working with various legislators and people representing Ohio’s congress, I left Columbus Ohio and took a position teaching at Savannah Technical College in Savannah Georgia as an adjunct professor. During that time I also returned to school to obtain a Masters in Education from Capella University going forward to also work on a PhD in Educational Psychology.
