Burden - Stelly Charisse - Organize Fight Win Black Communist Women's Political Writing - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Black Communist women throughout the early to mid - twentieth century fought for and led mass campaigns in the service of building collective power in the fight for liberation. Through concrete materialist analysis of the conditions of Black workers these women argued that racial and economic equality can only be achieved by overthrowing capitalism. The first collection of its kind Organize Fight Win brings together three decades of Black Communist women's political writings. In doing so it highlights the link between Communism and Black liberation. Likewise it makes clear how Black women fundamentally shaped and were shaped by Communist praxis in the twentieth century. Organize Fight Win includes writings from card - carrying Communists like Dorothy Burnham Williana Burroughs Grace P. Campbell Alice Childress Marvel Cooke Esther Cooper Jackson Thelma Dale Perkins Vicki Garvin Yvonne Gregory Claudia Jones Maude White Katz and Louise Thompson Patterson and writings by those who organized alongside the Communist Party like Ella Baker Charlotta Bass Thyra Edwards Lorraine Hansberry and Dorothy Hunton.
