- Description
- This study examines the experiences of nineteenth- and twentieth-century black women in African en Afro-American diaspora communities from a variety of perspectives in a number of different settings. The collection explores the themes that have shaped black women's goals, options, and responses: religion, education, political activism, migration, and cultural transformation, examining the lives of black women in the United States and the Caribbean Basin: in the white settler societies of Kenya, Zimbabwe, and South Africa: and in the black settler societies of Liberia and Sierra Leone.
