Reviews

"This new collection of a four-decades-old text reminds us that black women have long known that America's destiny is inseparable from how it treats them and the nation ignores this truth at its peril."
--The New York Review of Books

"A striking collection that should be immediately added to the Black feminist canon."
--Bitch Media

"An essential book for any feminist library."
--Library Journal
