Hine Sight : Black Women and the Re-Construction of American History

"The history of African-American women has become an important topic in the intellectual life of this country in the last fifteen years; and Darlene Clark Hine has been one of those most responsible for bringing the subject to its current level of importance." - from the "Foreword" by John Hope Franklin. "In this absolutely needed collection of essays by one of the leading American historians of our generation, the richly intertwined community-making and self-making that shaped the historical experience of African-American women shines out like a beacon." - Susan M.
