Brooks (African American studies, Oberlin College) recounts the parallel stories of women's resistance to racial injustice in the American South and South Africa. In doing so, she addresses historical gaps and neglect in recognizing the political agency of black women, as well as how their actions helped to achieve global racial equality. She conducted 40 interviews between 1995 and 2006 with 35 women, weaving their stories with the history of nineteenth and early-twentieth century struggles and resistance through churches, unions, schools, and clubs, which led up to the mass demonstrations of the 1950s, most notably bus boycotts. She also describes other activities, such as home missionary groups, that were foundations to the political organizing. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
