Harris, Duchess.

Black feminist politics from Kennedy to Clinton[electronic resource] /Duchess Harris. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - xv, 190 p. ;22 cm. - Contemporary Black history. - Contemporary Black history..

Includes bibliographical references and index.

A history of Black American feminism -- The 1990s in context : a history of Black women in American politics -- Black women's relationshipswith party politics -- Doubting the Democrats : current disenchantmentand political futures.

Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this book analyzes Black women's involvement in American political life, focusing on what they did togain political power between 1961 and 2001, and why, in many cases, they did not succeed. Harris demonstrates that Black women have tried to gain centrality through their participation in Presidential Commissions, Black feminist organizations, theatricalproductions, film adaptations of literature, beauty pageants, electoral politics, and Presidential appointments. Harris contends that 'success' in this area means that the feminist-identified Black women in the Congressional Black Caucus who voted against Clarence Thomas's appointment would have spoken on behalf of Anita Hill; Senator Carol Moseley Braun would have won re-election; Lani Gunier would have had a hearing; Dr. Joycelyn Elders would have maintained her post; and Congresswoman Barbara Lee wouldn't have stood alone in her opposition to the Iraq war resolution.
