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

The Black Power Women's History Book is a comprehensive and groundbreaking examination of black women's political, social, and cultural engagement with the Black Power movement.

Through a rigorous multimedia analysis of artwork, political cartoons, and manifestos, Farmer reveals how black women activists reimagined black womanhood, challenged sexism, and redefined the meaning of race, gender, and identity in American life.

This compelling book shows how female activists fought for more inclusive understandings of Black Power and social justice by developing new ideas about black womanhood, spurring debate among activists over the importance of women and gender to Black Power organizing.

The book makes use of a vast and untapped array of black women's artwork, political cartoons, manifestos, and political essays that they produced as members of groups such as the Black Panther Party and the Congress of African People.

This is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the centrality of Black women in the fight for social justice.
