ABSTRACT
Dread Nation by Justina Ireland is used in this chapter to theorize the material realities of Black girls in schools. Damaris C. Dunn is an advocate for Blackgirlmagic in SF that moves us beyond Black girls’ capacity to endure the afterlife of slavery. This chapter meets at the intersection of critical race theory, Black girlhood studies, and education to pay homage to Jane McKeene and Black girls who talk back.
