Available Copies Details Synopsis

Michle Wallace blasts the masculinist bias of 1960s Black politics, showing how women remained marginalised by the patriarchal culture of Black Power. She describes the ways in which traditional, male-identified myths of Black womanhood block the development of a separate female subjectivity. With the original publication of this book, she aroused protest from intellectual and political leaders touching off a debate which continues to resonate through current feminist and black theory.
