Connecting Across Cultures & Continents

The dialogues in this book present a cross-cultural, multidisciplinary critique of racism and the advocacy required to confront its persistence globally. While the essays begin to refocus attention on racism as a challenge to international development, they also call on the international women's movement to support Black women's efforts to realize their own humanity. The authors provide an analysis and a metaphor for Black women across the globe, who are working to transcend their alienation, to validate their own heritage and to escape the tyranny of racial discrimination.The authors provide an analysis and a metaphor for Black women across the globe, who are working to transcend their alienation, to validate their own heritage and to escape the tyranny of racial discrimination.
