"I Can't Just Keep Talking about the Men": Black Girl Resistance in a History Classroom
Eliana Castro
Race, Ethnicity and Education, v28 n1 p36-55 2025
Drawing from Black Feminist Thought and Black Girl Cartography the author uses the domain-of-power framework to analyze the Black Girl Charting practices of Cierra, a Black girl student navigating racial history in a secondary classroom in the United States. She encounters the physical space as a site of interpersonal oppression and the U.S. history curriculum as a space of cultural, hegemonic domination. Most importantly, she resists those constraints with her reframing of Blackness, women, and youth through her coursework. After examining Cierra's essay, presentation, exchange with the principal, and responses to interview questions, the author reimagines the focal conversation as a pathway to empowering learning. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of the study for Black feminist pedagogy and abolitionist teaching in K-12 education, teacher education, and education research.
