Critical Race Feminism by Adrien Wing

Critical Race Feminism by Adrien Wing

In "Critical Race Feminism", Anita Hill, Lani Guinier, Regina Austin, Patricia Williams, Emma Coleman Jordan (Anita Hill's lawyer) and over three dozen other women seek to ensure that their perspectives on race, power, law, and politics in America will never again be distorted or ignored. Revealing how the historical experiences and contemporary realities of women of color are profoundly influenced by a legacy of racism and sexism that is neither linear nor logical, the book offers a panoramic perspective on American women's lives, illustrating how women of color derive strength from oppression. Both a forceful statement and a platform, the volume addresses an ambitious range of subjects from life in the workplace, motherhood, and parenting to sexual harassment, the O.J. Simpson trial, and criminal justice. Extending beyond national borders, it also takes on such global issues as female genital mutilation with sensitivity and eloquence. In a foreword that discusses relations between black women and men in the wake of the Million Man March, Derrick Bell argues that there is a singular focus, and thus a unique power, in "Critical Race Feminism" that makes this anthology relevant for women and men of all colors.

"The organization, subjects, and quality writing make it a book that should have a home on almost any shelf" - Altar Magazine "With this volume of 40 essays, Wing ... seeks to make accesible a theoretical discussion that originated among legal scholars." - Library Journal
