## Description

Recipient of the 2002 Bruce Catton Prize for Lifetime Achievement in Historical Writing. In this “stunning collection of documents” ( Washington Post Book World ), African-American women speak of themselves, their lives, ambitions, and struggles from the colonial period to the present day. Theirs are stories of oppression and survival, of family and community self-help, of inspiring heroism and grass-roots organizational continuity in the face of racism, economic hardship, and, far too often, violence. Their vivid accounts, their strong and insistent voices, make for inspiring reading, enriching our understanding of the American past. “A very timely and powerful collection which gives emphasis to the magnificent role of Black women in the struggle of Black people to survive in this, the United States,”—Nathan Irvin Huggins “Gerda Lerner has collected . . . material which can change images that whites have had of Blacks, and possibly even those which we, as Blacks, have of ourselves,”—Maya Angelou

Review: Black women's perspective of America - 8th purchase of this material I always give it away after I read it. You have to know where you come from to know, where you're going. A mother is the strongest bond of unity in a family. To understand that women are not the weakest link, this is a must read. The struggle is real, A strong woman makes a stronger man,
Review: Should be required - I first read this book in college. It was as relevant then as it is now, and more so. If I were a high school social studies teacher, this would be required reading, extra credit for a project based on the book. It’s an A+.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ remarkable
*by D***N on September 4, 2003*

"Black Women in White America" is outstanding. Naturally the book provides some remarkable documents about slavery, but there is so much more covered in this fabulous book. The experiences of African - American women seeking to get (and give) an education, the experiences of African-American women as mere sex objects (and their stories of being objectified by men of all races), the crusade against lynching ... I was floored by the variety and amount of sources contained in this book. It is quite comprehensive in its breadth and scope. As a historian and teacher, this is a marvelous resource. As a student and American, it is a moving true-life story that is regretfully often untold. Highly recommended reading.
