A unique and important study, Stepping Forward examines the
experiences of nineteenth- and twentieth-century black women in
Africa and African diaspora communities from a variety of
perspectives in a number of different settings. This wide-ranging
collection designed for classroom use explores the broad themes
that have shaped black women's goals, options, and responses:
religion, education, political activism, migration, and cultural
transformation. Essays by leading scholars in the field examine the
lives of black women in the United States and the Caribbean Basin;
in the white settler societies of Kenya, Zimbabwe, and South
Africa; and in the black settler societies of Liberia and Sierra
Leone. Among the contributors to this volume are historians,
political scientists, and scholars of literature, music, and law.
What emerges from their work is an image of black women's agency,
self-reliance, and resiliency. Despite cultural differences and
geographical variations, black women have provided foundations on
which black communities have not only survived, but also thrived.
Stepping Forward is a valuable addition to our understanding of
women's roles in these diverse communities.
