Cheryl Clarke, Angela Davis, Bell Hooks, June Jordan, Audre Lorde, and Alice Walker—from the pioneers of black women’s studies comes Still Brave, the definitive collection of race and gender writings today.  Including Alice Walker’s groundbreaking elucidation of the term “womanist,” discussions of women’s rights as human rights, and a piece on the Obama factor, the collection speaks to the ways that feminism has evolved and how black women have confronted racism within it.

 

Editors Stanlie M. James, Frances Smith Foster, and Beverly Guy-Sheftall will discuss and sign their collection. Event is free and open to all.  For more info on the book and to purchase, please visit http://bbpbooks.teachingforchange.org/book/9781558616110
