Shawn Leigh Alexander’s anthology will go a long way toward rectifying that situation, demonstrating the breadth of Fortune’s contribution to black political thought at a key period in American history.

Mary PoolePublication Details
BookUniversity of North Carolina Press2006Links

Winifred BreinesPublication Details
BookOxford University Press2006Links

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.

Motherhood In Black And White : Race And Sex In American Liberalism, 1930-1965

Attribution
Ruth FeldsteinPublication Details
BookCornell University Press2000Description
From the New Deal into the Great Society, bad mothers, black or white, were seen as undermining American citizenship and as preventing improved race relations, while good mothers, responsible for raising physically and psychologically fit future citizens, were held up as a precondition to a strong democracy. By showing how ideas about gender roles and race relations intersected in films, welfare policies, and civil rights activism, as well as in the assumptions of classic works of social science, Motherhood in Black and White speaks to questions within women’s history, African American history, political history, and cultural history.
