Dr. Tracey Jean Boisseau, associate professor at Purdue University, has published a new essay on AnneMoody, titled “Coming of Age with Anne Moody: Looking Within and Without for the Origins of Black Women’s Activism in the Civil Rights Movement.” It appears in Meridians (April 2020), a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary feminist journal. In the Abstract, Boisseau writes: "This essay offers a close reading of Anne Moody’s widely read but under-theorized memoir of the civil rights movement, Coming of Age in Mississippi (1968). This essay’s focus mirrors a main focus in Moody’s narrative: her relationship with her mother."

I was especially delighted to learn that my work on Anne Moody is cited in this excellent work. It is truly an honor, and I'm grateful to Boisseau for the acknowledgment.
