| In this book the author who used to be an activist herself in the new left, anti-Vietnam War and early womenen's movements analyses why and how the white and black participation of women in the movements in the 1960s led to the development of separate feminisms. Although white feminists considered themselves as anti-racists and they wanted to develop an interracial movement, they were trapped in their own experiences and could often not see beyond them. Therefore they often behaved in unconsciously or abstractly racist ways. Other reasons why there was a division between the white and black women were according to Breines segregation, black women's interest in the Black Power movement, class differences, and the development of identity politics with an emphasis on "difference". 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. Despite early setbacks, white and black radical feminists eventually developed cross-racial feminist political projects. The sociologist Breines describes this development from segregation in the 1960s to more understanding and common political activism between black and white women from the early 1980s on in this book. | |
