This book is a collection of nine essays that analyse the people,
the protests and the incidents of the civil rights movement through
the lens of gender. More than just a study of women, the book
examines the ways in which assigned sexual roles and values shaped
the strategy, tactics and ideology of the movement. The essays deal
with topics ranging from the Montgomery bus boycott and Rhythm and
Blues to gangsta rap and contemporary fiction, from the 1950s to
the 1990s. Referring to groups such as the National Council of
African American Men and events such as the Million Man March, the
authors address male gender identity as much as female, arguing
that slave/master relations carried over from before the Civil War
continued to affect Black masculinity in the post-war battle for
civil rights. Whereas feminism traditionally deals with issues of
patriarchy and prescribed gender roles, this volume shows how race
relations continue to complicate sex-based definitions within the
civil rights movement.
