Melissa Harris-Perry, formerly Melissa Victoria Harris-Lacewell, is the Maya Angelou Presidential Chair at Wake Forest University, where she is the founding director of the Anna Julia Cooper Center. She is editor-at-large at Elle.com and hosted the Melissa Harris-Perry show on MSNBC from 2012-2016. She is also the author of Sister Citizen: Shame, Stereotypes, and Black Women in America.
"While sociologists have produced wonderful ethnographic works on the black community, few have explained the political relevance of discourse in these communities. Harris-Lacewell links public discourse with ideology formation and political behavior in a way that is compelling, new, and important."--Andrea Simpson, University of Richmond, author of The Tie that Binds
