Opis

"If Black women were free, it would mean that everyone else would have to be free." -Combahee River Collective Statement

Recenzje

"This new collection of a four-decades-old text reminds us that black women have long known that America's destiny is inseparable from how it treats them and the nation ignores this truth at its peril."
-The New York Review of Books

"A striking collection that should be immediately added to the Black feminist canon."
-Bitch Media

"An essential book for any feminist library."
-Library Journal

"The publication of How We Get Free marks the 40th anniversary of the Combahee River Collective statement, which is often said to be the foundational document of intersectional feminism. As white feminism has gained an increasing amount of coverage, there are still questions as to how black and brown women's needs are being addressed. This book, through a collection of interviews with prominent black feminists, provides some answers." -Rachael Revesz, the Independent

"For feminists of all kinds, astute scholars, or anyone with a passion for social justice, How We Get Free is an invaluable work." -Ethnic and Racial Studies Journal
