"A valuable resourcea]the names of the authors and activists within
it are undoubtedly ones we will encounter again and again over the
decades to come."
--"Sojourner"
Still Lifting, Still Climbing is the first volume of its kind to
document African American women's activism in the wake of the civil
rights movement.
Covering grassroots and national movements alike, contributors
explore black women's mobilization around such areas as the black
nationalist movements, the Million Man March, black feminism,
anti-rape movements, mass incarceration, the U.S. Congress, welfare
rights, health care, and labor organizing. Detailing the impact of
post-1960s African American women's activism, they provide a
much-needed update to the historical narrative.
Ideal for course use, the volume includes original essays as
well as primary source documents such as first-hand accounts of
activism and statements of purpose. Each contributor carefully
situates their topic within its historical framework, providing an
accessible context for those unfamiliar with black women's history,
and demonstrating that African American women's political agency
does not emerge from a vacuum, but is part of a complex system of
institutions, economics, and personal beliefs.
This ambitious volume will be an invaluable resource on the
state of contemporary African American women's activism.
