The phrase “terrible beauty” is a paradox that captures the complex emotions that Hartman conveys in her writings. The slums are a place of both beauty and ugliness, of hope and despair. She focuses on the promise and precarity of transient spaces and liminal zones. It is a place that highlights the different perspectives of insiders and outsiders. The outsiders see the slums as a place of danger and despair, while the women who live there see it as a place to call home. “Terrible beauty” also refers to how Black social life is consumed and enjoyed by outsiders.
