| Description: |
"This book will be useful to all who wish to explore historically, ethically, and theologically the tensions and conflicts that have existed between white and black women in the feminist movement. Andolsen sets before the reader a rich reservoir of historical material that demonstrates more clearly than anything else presently available the way in which racism inhered in the moral and political argumments of the leading suffragists in the nineteenth centry. Similarly she introduces us to the alternative voices of leading black women feminists of the same era. In spite of their sensitivity to the pervasive impact of cultural racism, Andolsen argues that white feminist theologians are vulnerable to racism largely because of their lack of engagement with black feminists, whose experience as women is quite different from that of whites. Lack of such ongoing dialogue tempts white feminists to univeralize their own experience -- a temptation that Andolsen believes must be overcome in the interest of wider unity and a greater humanity." - Back of book |
