This book examines how black women have identified challenges in
major social institutions across history and demonstrated adaptive
leadership in mobilizing people to tackle those challenges facing
black communities. Most studies about black women and social
justice issues focus on the responses of black women to racism
within the context of the feminist movement and/or the responses of
black women to sexism in black liberation movements. Such
discussions often fail to explore the ways in which black women's
commitment to negotiating their racial, gender, and class
identities, while engaged in the practice of leadership, is
discouraged and ignored. Black Women as Leaders analyzes the
commitment of contemporary black women to social justice issues
from the perspective of adaptive leadership. It shows how black
women are often forced into the public practice of leadership due
to violent attacks from people with whom they are in engaged in
interpersonal relationships. The book also breaks new ground by
revealing how black women suffer from the devaluation and
vilification of their engagement in the practice of leadership in
private settings, such as their homes and selected religious and
institutional settings. Connects ideas on adaptive leadership with
material on race, class, and gender Recognizes black women as
actively engaged in the practice of leadership as opposed to
passively involved in largely supportive and/or subordinate roles
Simultaneously explores a host of important contemporary issues and
the significant impact of black women on and their ability to
tackle each issue Provides recommendations for increasing the
number of black women prepared to face oppression on multiple
fronts
