Produktbeschreibung
A society born of white supremacy and patriarchy must, by definition, ignore the voices of Black women. We know that unfortunately, such an attitude will also naturally seep into every stratum of that society Part of the contribution to correct that was the centering and airing of Black women's voices through Some of Us Are Brave: A Black Women's Radio Program that aired on Pacifica's Los Angeles radio station (KPFK) from 2003 until 2011. The program covered a myriad of issues by amplifying the voices of a broad cross-section of Black women. Some of those voices have been preserved here in this volume. In addition to capturing various moments in time with a variety of women, this is also a means of taking the intellectual production of and about Black women out of the hands of institutions that are both fundamentally anti-Black and anti-woman. Volume 1 contains interviews under the headings The Shoulders on Which We Stand and Black Lives Have Always Mattered. Volume 2 will cover Black Women's Health, Bruthas on Sistas, and Sistas in Struggle.
