摘要：
In this integrative review, we highlight the legacy and contributions of Thomas Cash as it relates to Black women's body image concerns. In addition, utilizing intersectionality and objectification theories, we contend that Black women's body image disturbances must be placed within a sociocultural context based on the intersections of gender and racial oppression. Together, these systems of oppression create unique body image disturbances for Black women. We highlight literature that focuses on the specific ways in which Black women may encounter body image concerns-ways that differ from the experiences of White women to whom Black women have historically been compared. We conclude this review by highlighting factors that may foster body satisfaction among Black women, with a focus on strengths and protective factors. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
