Important book on a double minority!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I read this after borrowing it from a library, but now I really wish I had a copy to keep. If you are a good liberal, you already know that women of color are doubly oppressed. You know that many ppl think all the feminists are white and all the antiracists are male, so the topic can get tired. However, this book was really well done. It covers Black, Latina, Asian, and Native women equally. It talks about women of various class backgrounds and immigration statuses. The articles are accessible to non-academic readers without boring highly educated readers. I particularly love one article which discusses the "domesticization" of bright black girls in public schools. This book may be a little dated by now. But for what it was at the time, it is quite excellent. All womanists and mujeristas should get a copy.
