This volume utilizes the cross-cultural, historical and ethnographic perspective of anthropology to illuminate the intrinsic connections of race, class and gender. The author begins by discussing the manner in which her experience as a participant observer led her to research and write about various aspects of African-American women's experiences. She goes on to provide a critical analysis of the new scholarship on African-American women, and explores issues of race, class and gender in the arenas of work, kinship and resistance.
Leith Mullings is Professor of Anthropology at the Graduate School of the City University of New York. She is the author of Therapy, Ideology, and Social Change (1984), and editor of Cities of the United States (1987).
