This paper explores the experiences of black women/mothers in American South and the resistance strategies they use to overcome the challenges through the examination of Brooks' "The Mother". It provides insights into how black females have been suffering from patriarchal ideology and stereotyping, and how they are placed in an inferior position and treated as slaves and sexual machines. Gendered stereotypes show that the women of color are poor, helpless and dependent. The aim of this study is twofold. First, the goal is to explain why black women are victims of white prejudice and patriarchal practices. And second, it demonstrates how black females set themselves free from racial ideology and Western hegemony by applying resistance strategies. Applying the approach of textual analysis, this paper examines how socio-cultural values/ stereotypes make black women captive and what resistance strategies they use to avoid disparity and social injustice. The findings of this research show that resistance strategies are the means of liberation for black women. Furthermore, it contributes to knowledge about resistance strategies that women of color use to protect themselves from the pathetic effects of racism and gender oppression. Nonetheless, it is argued that owing to the power and pervasiveness of structurally-imposed values, individualized resistance strategies are limited.

The selection of a potential variable is issues of great concern. In this study six growth models have been used for analyzing the main determinants of economic growth in case of 43 cross countries analysis. Therefore, by using these six models we have tested all the potential variables through modern shrinkage procedure automatrics. Data from 1980 to 2020 were used to analyze the cross country growth factors. Current study looked at about 43 countries with modeling these different comparative studies based on growth modeling By evaluating the data and using the modern econometrics technique automatrics, different sets of economic variables has been used to evaluate which sets of the economic variables are important to boost up the growth level of the country. And found variable exports of goods and services (LNREXP) gross fixed capital formation (LNGCF) .Domestic investment (DI),Total labor force (LNTLF) current and lag values found highly.
