- Description
- After spending six years interviewing nearly 40 women and men who see themselves as part of a multiracial and multi-issue antiracism movement, Thompson delivers a study of the longstanding role and ongoing struggles of antiracist political work in U.S. progressive culture. Examining the spectrum of political activism, including the Black Power movement, prison activism, multiracial lesbian-feminism, the Sanctuary movement, the New Left and the Weather Underground and issues of spirituality and activism, the author navigates the myriad concerns, complications and contradictions of each movement (and their interactions with one another).
