The Melissa Harris-Perry Show

If you missed the debut of MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry Show this weekend, the network makes most of the episode available online.

In her inaugural episode, Harris-Perry covers Mitt Romney and campaign psychology for candidates—including “Daddy Issues”, the GOP progress with Southern voters, union memberships and the middle class, women on the idea of dating Chris Brown, women’s rights to their bodies, same-sex marriage bans, and the legacy of Whitney Houston. She is just getting started…

For our part, we’ve synthesized the two excerpts out there from Sister Citizen: Shame, Stereotypes, and Black Women in America—including Harris-Perry’s “Crooked Room” thesis and the section of her book discussing Michelle Obama, her marriage, and the “Sapphire”/angry black woman stereotype typically associated with the First Lady. Celebrating both Black History and Women’s History Months in February and March, the free download is available from Yalebooks.com until March 31. Stay tuned for more updates on Harris-Perry’s appearances and discussions about politics, race, and gender.
