- Description
- This book offers a comprehensive, systematic analysis of womanism, including a detailed discussion of the womanist worldview (cosmology, ontology, epistemology, logic, axiology, and methodology) and its implications for activism. From a womanist perspective, social and ecological change is necessarily undergirded by spirituality – as distinct from religion per se – which invokes a metaphysically informed approach to activism.

- Description
- The national narrative on Parks is that of a reluctant champion of civil rights whose single action was refusing to move to the back of the bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955. Theoharis offers a complex portrait of a forceful, determined woman who had long been active before the boycott she inspired and who had an even longer career in civil rights afterward. The image of a quiet seamstress minimizes Parks’ stature as an activist and obscures continued injustice and inequality. Theoharis chronicles Parks’ personal journey to resistance, her work in the South challenging segregation and promoting voter registration, and her continued efforts in Detroit to address racial restrictions that had ostensibly been resolved by civil rights legislation. Theoharis details the cost of the bus boycott to Parks and her family, including decades of death threats: her strong admiration for radical black activists: and the controversies that continue to surround the disposition of her archival material as factions fight to claim rights to her iconic image.

- Description
- Onderzoek naar de interactie tussen verschillende groepen vrouwen, autochtone witte vrouwen, afro-amerikaanse vrouwen en Cubaanse en Italiaanse immigrantenvrouwen in de sigarenstad Tampa, Florida, VS. Rond de eeuwwisseling in 1900 speelden zich verschillende historische gebeurtenissen af. De stad was onderwerp van nieuw opgelegde vormen van wettelijke segregatie en zij diende als centrum voor bannelingen ten gevolge van de Cubaanse onafhankelijkheidsoorlog en als opstapplaats voor VS legertroepen naar Cuba in 1898. De stad was overslagplaats voor duizenden Cubaanse en Italiaanse immigranten op zoek naar werk in de florerende sigarenindustrie en trok talloze onderwegzijnde radikalen aan die stonden te popelen om lokale revolutionaire clubs, wederzijdse hulporganisaties en vakbonden op te zetten. Aandacht voor de rol van vrouwen in het activisme, waar binnen grote aantallen latina's zich manifesteerden in de openbare sfeer.

They were international mobilizers, and charismatic leaders, like Vicki Garvin, a Brooklyn-born activist became a leader of the National Negro Labor Council and Shirley Chisholm, who became the first black Congresswoman.

- In order to uncover the strategies through which middle-class and elite whites achieved civic dominance, this study examines the Get-Out-the-Vote campaigns of the 1920s. Three cities serve as case studies: New York City, with its political machine and ethnic policies: Grand Rapids, with ethnic and racial diversity: and Birmingham where access to the ballot was sharply restricted, especially by race. It also illuminates the ways in which women and men, black and white, and in various regions of the country, pursued places for themselves in the public sphere.
