| Evelyn Simien, assistant professor of Political Science at the University of Connecticut, gives in this book an account of the strides that black women have made in politics despite the burden of racism, sexism, and classism. Based on empirical research - Simien uses a national telephone survey sample of the adult African American population - she tries to discover the extent to which black women and men support black feminist tenets. She aks questions like: How does the absence of black feminist voices impair our understanding of group consciousness? What factors make individuals more or less likely to adopt black feminist views? Are men just as likely as women to support black feminist tenets? Simien analyzes the survey data, responds to limitations of existing research, and addresses critical questions that many black academics, intellectuals, and activists have devoted significant energy to debating without much empirical evidence. In her final chapter of the book she discusses the future of feminist scholarship and black politics research. | |
