A Nation Can Rise No Higher Than Its Women: African American Muslim
Women in the Movement for Black Self Determination, 1950-1975
challenges traditional notions and interpretations of African
American, particularly women who joined the Original Nation of
Islam during the Civil Rights-Black Power era. This book is the
first major investigation of the subject that engages a wide scope
of women from "The Nation" and utilizes a wealth of primary
documents and personal interviews to reveal the importance of women
in this community. Jeffries reveals that women were respected in
the movement and maintained a very clear and often sought after
voice in the advancement of the Original Nation of Islam. A Nation
Can Rise No Higher Than Its Women replaces the typical portrait of
the subservient and irrelevant African American Muslim woman with a
far more accurate picture of their integral leadership and
substantial contributions to the rise of Islam and black
consciousness in the self-determination movement in the United
States and beyond during the Civil Rights-Black Power era.
