Black Women and Intimate Partner Violence

New Directions for Research

Carolyn M. West

University of Washington, Tacoma

African American women are at elevated risk for nonfatal and lethal intimate partner violence (IPV). Accordingly, the purpose of this article is to review our current knowledge, with a focus on the sociodemographic factors that make this population particularly vulnerable to abuse. Future research directions include using more diverse Black samples, considering how living at the intersection of multiple forms of oppression shapes Black women’s experience with violence, exploring the influence of historical events and oppressive images on victimization, and focusing on survivors’ resilience and activism.

Key Words: battered women • domestic violence • Blacks
