Summary:
"A reclamation of essential
history
and a hopeful gesture toward a better political future, this is what listening to
Black
women
looks like -- from a professor of political science and columnist for Teen Vogue . This is my offering. My love letter to them, and to
us
. Jenn M. Jackson has been known to bring deep historical acuity to some of the most controversial topics in America today. Now, in their first book, Jackson applies their critical analysis to the questions that have long energized their work: Why has
Black
women
's freedom fighting been so overlooked throughout
history
, and what has our society lost in the meantime? A love letter to those who have been minimized and forgotten, this collection repositions
Black
women
's intellectual and political work at the center of today's liberation movements. Across thirteen original essays that explore the legacy and work of
Black
women
writers and leaders -- from Harriet Jacobs and Ida B. Wells to the Combahee River Collective and Audre Lorde -- Jackson sets the record straight about
Black
women
's longtime movement organizing, theorizing, and coalition building in the name of racial, gender, and sexual justice in the United States and abroad. These essays show, in both critical and deeply personal terms, how
Black
women
have been at the center of modern liberation movements, despite the erasure and misrecognition of their efforts. Jackson illustrates how
Black
women
have frequently done the work of liberation at great risk to their lives and livelihoods."--Publisher.
