Goler Teal Butcher (1925–93), a towering figure in international
human rights law, was a scholar and advocate who advanced an
intersectional approach to human empowerment influenced by Black
women’s intellectual traditions. Practical Audacity follows the
stories of fourteen women whose work honors and furthers
Butcher’s legacy. Their multilayered and sophisticated
contributions have critically reshaped human rights scholarship and
activism—including their major role in developing critical race
feminism, community-based applications, and expanding the
boundaries of human rights discourse. Â Stanlie M. James
weaves narratives by and about these women throughout the history
of the field, illustrating how they conceptualize, develop, and
implement human rights. By centering the courage and innovative
interventions of capable and visionary Black women, she places them
rightfully alongside such figures as Thurgood Marshall and Charles
Hamilton Houston. This volume fundamentally shifts the frame
through which human rights struggles are understood, illuminating
how those who witness and experience oppression have made some of
the biggest contributions to building a better world.
