Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this book analyzes Black
women's involvement in American political life, focusing on what
they did to gain political power between 1961 and 2001, and why, in
many cases, they did not succeed. Harris demonstrates that Black
women have tried to gain centrality through their participation in
Presidential Commissions, Black feminist organizations, theatrical
productions, film adaptations of literature, beauty pageants,
electoral politics, and Presidential appointments. Harris contends
that 'success' in this area means that the feminist-identified
Black women in the Congressional Black Caucus who voted against
Clarence Thomas's appointment would have spoken on behalf of Anita
Hill; Senator Carol Moseley Braun would have won re-election; Lani
Gunier would have had a hearing; Dr. Joycelyn Elders would have
maintained her post; and Congresswoman Barbara Lee wouldn't have
stood alone in her opposition to the Iraq war resolution.
