This edited volume brings together the histories, stories, and contemporary experiences of Black and Afro-descendant women across the Américas through an intentionally interdisciplinary lens. Challenging the academic structures that have long siloed both knowledge and lived experience along lines of geography, culture, and time, this collection affirms that collective struggle and resistance are not only objects of study — they are themselves modes of knowledge production. Organized around three thematic sections — Historical Trajectories, Community Experiences, and Narrative as Methodology — the volume centers the voices of Black and Afro-descendant women who have been marginalized by both the Black Movement and the Feminist Movement. Together, its contributors demonstrate how memory, belonging, and narrative praxis serve as powerful tools of visibility, dignity, and social justice. Writing this volume is itself an act of resistance: a collaborative, cross-community effort that stands on the shoulders of the Black women who came before, and an open invitation for future generations to continue building this story. It is not an ending — it is a beginning.
