Jess Bae’s Reviews > Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments: Intimate Histories of Riotous Black Girls, Troublesome Women, and Queer Radicals > Status Update

Utterly brilliant concept, GORGEOUS prose. Hartman writes with deep, imaginative sympathy for the women whose history she writes. She is keenly attuned to their genius. Social workers need to read this to understand the ways our profession offered a way of life for progressive whites women, who created a career for themselves by colluding with the state to criminalize young Black women.
