Beyond Respectability
Beyond Respectability: The Intellectual Thought of Race Women | Brittney C. Cooper
4 posts | 3 read | 9 to read
Beyond Respectability charts the development of African American women as public intellectuals and the evolution of their thought from the end of the 1800s through the Black Power era of the 1970s. Eschewing the Great Race Man paradigm so prominent in contemporary discourse, Brittney C. Cooper looks at the far-reaching intellectual achievements of female thinkers and activists like Anna Julia Cooper, Mary Church Terrell, Fannie Barrier Williams, Pauli Murray, and Tony Cade Bambara. Cooper delves into the processes that transformed these women and others into racial leadership figures, including long-overdue discussions of their theoretical output and personal experiences. As Cooper shows, their body of work critically reshaped our understandings of race and gender discourse. It also confronted entrenched ideas of how--and who--produced racial knowledge.

What do these books have in common? They were published by University of Illinois Press and selected by CHOICE as Outstanding Academic Titles of 2018. I particularly recommend BEYOND RESPECTABILITY by Dr. Brittney Cooper.

NEW, AMAZING BOOK ALERT!!! Historian Brittney C. Cooper extends the discourses surrounding respectability politics for African American women. In studying key black female public intellectuals like Anna Julia Cooper and Fannie Barrier Williams, she corrects the myopic focus on Great Race Men to showcase the intellectual prowess and contributions of Race Women. And, that cover!🔥💛

BestOfFates Looks amazing - just added to my to-read pile, thanks! 8y
ReadosaurusText @BestOfFates Awesome! I'd love to hear what you think! 8y
