The Good Black Woman

About the Book

Palesa Juxta poses two sides of women, that of being good and bad in subtle ways. Also the use of Black in the book has connotations of black being some colour that has been used historically to mean something bad or painful. The book also looks at the choices made by women in an effort to be normal.

The book is borne out of observations of the good deeds of women and yet also observing that much as women are good but they also deal with hardships and fears, some caused by them and some not their own doing.
