African American Environmental Thought : Foundations

Book, University Press of Kansas, 2007

- Table of contents only
Description
In this first single-authored book to link African American and environmental studies, Smith uncovers a rich tradition stretching from the abolition movement through the Harlem Renaissance, demonstrating that black Americans have been far from indifferent to environmental concerns. It also offers a new way to conceptualize black politics by bringing into view its environmental dimension, as well as a normative environmental theory grounded in pragmatism and aimed at identifying the social conditions for environmental virtue. African American Environmental Thought enriches our understanding of black politics and environmental history, and of environmental theory in general. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Description
Meticulously reconstructing the behind-the-scenes politicking that gave birth to the 1935 Social Security Act, Poole demonstrates that segregation was built into the very foundation of the welfare state because white policy makers–both liberal and conservative–shared an interest in preserving white race privilege.

Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 2006

Description
Segregation, black women’s interest in the Black Power movement, class differences, and the development of identity politics with an emphasis on “difference” were all powerful factors that divided white and black women. By the late 1970s and early 1980s white feminists began to understand black feminism’s call to include race and class in gender analyses, and black feminists began to give white feminists some credit for their political work.
