- Description
- Explores the history of white men’s sexual violence against black women in the United States. Underlines the significance of black women’s opposition to this violence as a part of the civil rights struggles. Special attention is paid to the activism of Rosa Parks. The author argues that that Parks’ radical politics, her role as an organizer against rape and the importance of this organizing in the emergence of the civil rights movement has been neglected in historical narratives.
