The debut YA title, by award-winning author Angela Shanté, is a love letter to Black girls set in New York City and serves as a personal and political critique of how the world raises Black girls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Shanté navigates the city through memory, she balances poetry with vignettes that explore the innocence and joy of childhood eroded by adultification. Through this book, she illuminates the places where Black girls are nurtured or exploited in stories and poems about personal and political boxes, love, loss, and sexual assault. Many entries are also studded with cultural footnotes designed to further understanding.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51687591903548,"sku":"9798890039538","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2005\/files\/81SMobL3KCL._SL1500.jpg?v=1757083691","url":"https:\/\/frugalbookstore.net\/products\/unboxing-of-a-black-girl","provider":"Frugal Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
