My love letter to them, and to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJenn M. Jackson, PhD, has been known to bring historical acuity to some of the most controversial topics in America today. Now, in their first book, Jackson applies their critical analysis to the questions that have long energized their work—why has Black women's freedom fighting been so overlooked throughout history, and what has our society lost because of our refusal to engage with our forestrugglers' lessons?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA love letter to those who have been minimized and forgotten, this collection repositions Black women's intellectual and political work at the centre of today's liberation movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAcross eleven original essays that explore the legacy of Black women writers and leaders—from Harriet Jacobs and Ida B. Wells to the Combahee River Collective and Audre Lorde—Jackson sets the record straight about Black women's longtime movement organising, theorising, and coalition building in the name of racial, gender, and sexual justice in the United States and abroad. These essays show, in both critical and deeply personal terms, how Black women have been at the centre of modern liberation movements despite the erasure and misrecognition of their efforts. Jackson illustrates how Black women have frequently done the work of liberation at great risk to their lives and livelihoods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a new generation of movement organisers and co-strugglers, \u003cem\u003eBlack Women Taught Us\u003c\/em\u003e serves as a reminder that Black women were the first ones to teach us how to fight racism, how to name that fight, and how to imagine a more just world for everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854107627756,"sku":"9780593243336","price":69.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5423153482399.jpg?v=1759234264"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/jenn-m-jackson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
