Description
Silver Winner, 2014 ForeWord IndieFab Book of the Year Award in the Women's Studies Category2015 Lambda Literary Award in Lesbian Memoir/Biography presented by the Lambda Literary Foundation2015 Judy Grahn Award for Lesbian Nonfiction presented by the Publishing Triangle
As an organizer, writer, publisher, scholar-activist, and elected official, Barbara Smith has played key roles in multiple social justice movements, including Civil Rights, feminism, lesbian and gay liberation, anti-racism, and Black feminism. Her four decades of grassroots activism forged collaborations that introduced the idea that oppression must be fought on a variety of fronts simultaneously, including gender, race, class, and sexuality. By combining hard-to-find historical documents with new unpublished interviews with fellow activists, this book uncovers the deep roots of today's "identity politics" and "intersectionality" and serves as an essential primer for practicing solidarity and resistance.
