From Publishers Weekly
USA Today correspondent Jones and psychologist Shorter-Gooden initiated the African American Women\'s Voices Project and recorded the experiences of 333 survey respondents and 71 interviewees. The results are here compiled to form an urgent narrative, doggedly chasing the hypothesis of the book\'s title: that the twin bigotries of race and gender force black women to constantly \"shift\" between identities in order to accommodate the expectations thrust upon them by black men and white America. \"From one moment to the next, they change their outward behavior, attitude, or tone, shifting `white,\' then shifting `Black\' again, shifting `corporate,\' shifting `cool.\' \" The authors argue that the contemporary survival tactic of shifting is rooted in slavery, but history does not figure strongly, with the bulk of the book composed of quoted testimonies from the research subjects, tracking their shifting experiences in the realms of communication, mental health, beauty standards, romance, child-rearing and religion. Compelling and educational tribulations are piled on, but the authors rarely pause to reflect on the contradictions or solutions the stories present. Yet the book makes a real contribution, as men and women of all races will find it an illuminating if sometimes shocking record of life between two \"isms.\"Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
