The Third Wave: Feminist Perspectives on Racism

by M. Jacqui Alexander (Editor)

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s communities of color have faced skyrocketing racial violence, the curtailing of economic and educational opportunities, and attacks upon basic civil rights. The Third Wave: Feminist Perspectives on Racism is the first major anthology to focus specifically upon racial oppression and strategies for eradicating it from the perspectives of women -- both European-American and women of color. This collection also analyzes racism in the international contexts of colonization and imperialism.Essays, poetry, and fiction by a wide variety of contributors including Anne Braden, Beth Brant, Mari Matsuda, Cherrie Moraga, Toni Morrison, Sonia Sanchez, and Haunani-Kay Trask offer fresh theoretical and practical approaches to achieving justice. The Third Wave will be an essential resource for years to come.
