Winner of the Dartmouth Medal for Outstanding Reference
Publication, the first edition of Black Women in America broke ground-pulling together for the first time all of the research in this vast but underrepresented field to provide one of the strongest building blocks of Black Women's Studies. Hailed by Eric Foner of Columbia University (for a Lingua Franca survey) as "one of those publishing events which changes the way we look at a field," it simultaneously filled a void in the literature and sparked new research and concepts regarding African-American women in history. Since the first edition was published, a new generation of American black women has flourished, demanding this landmark reference be brought up to date. Women such as Venus and Serena Williams, Condoleezza Rice, Carol Mosley-Braun, Ruth Simmons, and Ann Fudge have become household names for their remarkable contributions to sports, politics, academia, and business. In three magnificent volumes, Black Women in America celebrates the remarkable achievements of black women throughout history, highlights their ongoing contributions in America today, and covers the new research the first edition helped to generate. - Includes more than 150 new entries, plus revisions and updates to all previous entries
- Contains 500 illustrations, many published here for the first times
- Includes over 335 biographies, many newly prepared for this publication
- Offers sidebars on interesting aspects of the history and culture of black women
- Provides a bibliography for each entry, plus a major bibliographical essay
- Features a chronology and a comprehensive index
