Description
A reclamation of essential history and a hopeful gesture toward a better political future, this is what listening to Black women looks likefrom a professor of political science and columnist for Teen Vogue. Jenn M. Jackson is a beautiful writer and excellent scholar. In this book, they pay tribute to generations of Black women organizers and set forward a bold and courageous blueprint for our collective liberation.Imani Perry, author of South to AmericaThis is my offering. My love letter to them, and to us.Jenn M. Jackson, PhD, has been known to bring historical acuity to some of the most controversial topics in America today. Now, in their first book, Jackson applies their critical analysis to the questions that have long energized their work: Why has Black womens freedom fighting been so overlooked throughout history, and what has our society lost because of our refusal to engage with our forestrugglers lessons?A love letter to those who have been minimized and forgotten, this collection repositions Black womens intellectual and political work at the center of todays liberation movements.Across eleven original essays that explore the legacy of Black women writers and leadersfrom Harriet Jacobs and Ida B. Wells to the Combahee River Collective and Audre LordeJackson sets the record straight about Black womens longtime movement organizing, theorizing, and coalition building in the name of racial, gender, and sexual justice in the United States and abroad. These essays show, in both critical and deeply personal terms, how Black women have been at the center of modern liberation movements despite the erasure and misrecognition of their efforts. Jackson illustrates how Black women have frequently done the work of liberation at great risk to their lives and livelihoods.For a new generation of movement organizers and co-strugglers, Black Women Taught Us serves as a reminder that Black women were the first ones to teach us how to fight racism, how to name that fight, and how to imagine a more just world for everyone.
