Summary:
"A vibrant and empowering
history
that emphasizes the perspectives and stories of African American
women
to show how they are--and have always been--instrumental in shaping our country. In centering
Black
women
's stories, two award-winning historians seek both to empower African American
women
and to show their allies that
Black
women
's unique ability to make their own communities while combatting centuries of oppression is an essential component in our continued resistance to systemic racism and sexism. Daina Ramey Berry and Kali Nicole Gross offer an examination and celebration of
Black
womanhood, beginning with the first African
women
who arrived in what became the
United
States
to African American
women
of today. A
Black
Women
's
History
of the
United
States
reaches far beyond a single narrative to showcase
Black
women
's lives in all their fraught complexities. Berry and Gross prioritize many voices: enslaved
women
, freedwomen, religious leaders, artists, queer
women
, activists, and
women
who lived outside the law. The result is a starting point for exploring
Black
women
's
history
and a testament to the beauty, richness, rhythm, tragedy, heartbreak, rage, and enduring love that abounds in the spirit of
Black
women
in communities throughout the nation."--Publisher's website.
