Detailing the impact of post-1960s African American women's activism, they provide a much-needed update to the historical narrative.\u003cbr\u003e Ideal for course use, the volume includes original essays as well as primary source documents such as first-hand accounts of activism and statements of purpose. Each contributor carefully situates their topic within its historical framework, providing an accessible context for those unfamiliar with black women's history, and demonstrating that African American women's political agency does not emerge from a vacuum, but is part of a complex system of institutions, economics, and personal beliefs.\u003cbr\u003e This ambitious volume will be an invaluable resource on the state of contemporary African American women's activism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kimberly Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.08w x 1.01d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814781258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpringer, Kimberly:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eKimberly Springer \u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in American Studies at King's College London.
