In this collective biography, Rhonda Y. Williams takes us behind,
and beyond, politically expedient labels to provide an incisive and
intimate portrait of poor black women in urban America. Drawing on
dozens of interviews, Williams challenges the notion that
low-income housing was a resounding failure that doomed three
consecutive generations of post-war Americans to entrenched
poverty. Instead, she recovers a history of grass-roots activism,
of political awakening, and of class mobility, all facilitated by
the creation of affordable public housing. The stereotyping of
black women, especially mothers, has obscured a complicated and
nuanced reality too often warped by the political agendas of both
the left and the right, and has prevented an accurate understanding
of the successes and failures of government anti-poverty
policy.
