Revolutionary Mothering by Alexis Pauline Gumbs
Inspired by the legacy of radical and queer black feminists of the 1970s and '80s, Revolutionary Mothering is an anthology that centres mothers of colour and other marginalised mothers' voices. Marginalised and oppressed mothers are at the centre of a world of necessary transformation. The challenges we face as movements working for racial, economic, reproductive, gender and food justice, as well as anti-violence, anti-imperialist and queer liberation are the same challenges that marginalised mothers face every day.In writing her 500-page dissertation, We Can Learn to Mother Ourselves: The Queer Survival of Black Feminism, Alexis Pauline Gumbs was the first to look through the archives of various radical black feminist mothers, including June Jordan, Audre Lorde, Lucille Clifton, and Toni Cade Bambara. Alexis was designated one of the 50 Visionaries Changing the World by UTNE Readers in 2009, a Reproductive Reality Check Shero and a Black Woman Rising nominee in 2010, and one of the inaugural Too Hot for 501c3 trophies in 2011!
