Book excerpt: "How Capitalism Underdeveloped Black America is one of those paradigm-shifting, life-changing texts that has not lost its currency or relevance—even after three decades. Its provocative treatise on the ravages of late capitalism, state violence, incarceration, and patriarchy on the life chances and struggles of black working-class men and women shaped an entire generation, directing our energies to the terrain of the prison-industrial complex, anti-racist work, labor organizing, alternatives to racial capitalism, and challenging patriarchy—personally and politically."—Robin D. G. Kelley "In this new edition of his classic text . . . Marable can challenge a new generation to find solutions to the problems that constrain the present but not our potential to seek and define a better future."—Henry Louis Gates, Jr. "[A] prescient analysis."—Michael Eric Dyson How Capitalism Underdeveloped Black America is a classic study of the intersection of racism and class in the United States. It has become a standard text for courses in American politics and history, and has been central to the education of thousands of political activists since the 1980s. This edition is prsented with a new foreword by Leith Mullings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the centuries, the art establishment has turned a deaf ear to the voices of women artists. These women were not silent, however, but constantly struggling to articulate their experience. For the first time, the unique and powerful voices of twenty female artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including such luminaries as Georgia O'Keeffe, Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Barbara Hepworth, Faith Ringgold, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Frida Kahlo, have been gathered together in a single volume. These women all made eloquent and revealing disclosures about the personal and aesthetic issues that shaped their private lives, and their work. Often working in isolation, beset by doubt, and ignored by the commercial art world, they kept written records of their anxieties, their triumphs, and their artistic themes and methods in a wide variety of formats. Included are excerpts from private diaries, letters, essays, articles, poems, stories, and aesthetic manifestoes. Much of the material appears in print for the first time. The writings of artists have become an essential vehicle for understanding their art. A milestone in art history, Voicing Our Visions is compelling reading for anyone concerned with women and art. This lively collection of texts provides a clearer understanding and deeper enjoyment of the work of twenty leading women artists. -- Back Cover

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Girolamo Savonarola (1452–1498), the religious reformer, preacher, and Florentine civic leader, was burned at the stake as a false prophet by the order of Pope Alexander VI. Tamar Herzig here explores the networks of Savonarola’s female followers that proliferated in the two generations following his death. Drawing on sources from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, many never before studied, transcribed, or contextualized in Savonarolan scholarship and religious history, Herzig shows how powerful public figures and clerics continued to ally themselves with these holy women long after the prophet’s death. In their quest to stay true to their leader’s teachings, Savonarola’s female followers faced hostile superiors within their orders, local political pressures, and the deep-rooted misogynistic assumptions of the Church establishment. This unprecedented volume demonstrates how reform circles throughout the Italian peninsula each tailored Savonarola’s life and works to their particular communities’ regionally specific needs. Savonarola’s Women is an important reconstruction of women’s influence on one of the most important and controversial religious movements in premodern Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than half of the world's farmers are women. They are the majority of the poor, the uneducated and are the first to suffer from drought and famine. Yet their subordination is reinforced by well-meaning development policies that perpetuate social inequalities. During the 1975-85 United Nations Decade for the Advancement of Women their position actually worsened. This book analyses three decades of policies towards Third World women. Focusing on global economic and political crises - debt, famine, militarization, fundamentalism - the authors show how women's moves to organize effective strategies for basic survival are central to an understanding of the development process.
