Ain't I A Woman
£21.99
In this classic study, cultural critic bell hooks examines how Black women from the seventeenth century to the present day, were and are oppressed by both White men and Black men and by White women.
Illustrating her analysis with moving personal accounts, Ain't I a Woman is deeply critical of the racism inherent in the thought of many middle-class White feminists who have failed to address issues of race and class.
While acknowledging the conflict of loyalty to race or sex is still a dilemma, hooks challenges the view that race and gender are two separate phenomena, insisting that the struggles to end racism and sexism are inextricably intertwined.
