Overview

Summary Of The Book: Drawing on archival research, interviews, theoretical writings in history, feminism, and critical race theory, Race, Women, and Revolution uses the life of political activist Ella Josephine Baker to examine the contributions, as well as the marginalization, of black female radicalism in America. Noted scholar Joy James argues that black leadership continues to be attributed to male political and intellectual elites despite the broad influence of Baker's radical political thought, manifested by her labor organizing and civil rights activism. This important new book examines Baker's enduring legacy among contemporary political writers and activists, and highlights her profound impact on American democracy. This is essential reading for students and scholars of African American studies, women's studies, American history, and political thought.
