Remaking Black Power: How Black Women Transformed an Era (Justice, Power, and Politics)

This comprehensive history of black women's political, social, and cultural engagement with Black Power ideals and organizations is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex intersections of race, gender, and identity in American life.

Through a vast array of untapped artwork, political cartoons, manifestos, and political essays produced by black women activists, Farmer reveals how these women reimagined black womanhood, challenged sexism, and redefined the meaning of race, gender, and identity in American life.

By complicating the assumption that sexism relegated black women to the margins of the movement, Farmer demonstrates how female activists fought for more inclusive understandings of Black Power and social justice.

This book will inspire readers to challenge their assumptions about race, gender, and identity and to recognize the critical role that black women have played in shaping American history.
