Who are the grassroots warriors on the front lines of the war on
poverty? Through in-depth interviews, Nancy Naples presents the
voices of over sixty women--African American, Puerto Rican and
white European American--who have fought for social and economic
justice in the low-income neighborhoods of New York City and
Philadelphia. These women, as community workers and activist
mothers, contribute vital and often unpaid services to ther
communities, offering complex political perspectives and empowering
others. Naples reconceptualizes labor, mothering and politics from
the standpoint of women committed to work and politically organize
on behalf of low income urban communities. Her analysis reveals
significant legacies from past social movements, and examines how
gender, ethnicity and class influence political consciousness and
practice.
