African American women have early history encounters unique in relation to those of other ladies and also not the same as the encounters of African American men.

Introduction The purpose of this paper is to explore the sociological perspectives of critical realism and social construction in the context of deviance and difference with the intent to demonstrate how these sociological contexts may be illustrated through the controversial issue of the sexualisation of pre-teen females.
