Feminist Frontiers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is a compilation of essays done by both male and female authors. It shows the diversity of topics, issues, and points of views of feminists. This book was my text book for Women's Studies 101 and I didn't have to read all of it for the class, but I found myself reading a lot of the other essays because the topic was interesting to me or I identified with it or it was a topic I wanted to know more about. It broadened my view of how feminists aren't just about equality for women, but for everyone including breaking stereotypes that men have to endure. I kept this book even after my class was over. I recommend this book to everyone !

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Raymond D'Angelo is Chair of the Social Science department at the school I attend, St. Joseph's College in Patchogue, NY. I took a class he taught during the spring of 2001 called "The Civil Rights Movement." He used this book as the text for the course. He knows alot about this subject and the book was very well written. I highly recommend this book for both students and people interested in the topic. By the way all the proceeds go to the Selma Voting Rights Museum and the National Civil Rights Museum.

This new reader comprises an extensive collection of primary and secondary documents of the American Civil Rights movement. These documents are complemented by analytical and interpretive essays by the editor, setting these documents in their historical, social, and political context.The seeds for the modern Civil Rights Movement were planted nearly a century ago within the black Baptist Church, labor unions, the black press, and organizations like the NAACP and the SNYC. Each of the seven sections of this book present a carefully chosen selection of newspaper, magazine, and journal articles, letters, speeches, reports, and legal documents, all chronicling the one aspect of the movement for black rights from the earliest days of post-Civil War segregation to the present. The works of eminent scholars, historians, legislators, and jurists alternate with the voices of movement leaders and followers, black politicians, black entertainers, and average citizens, all blending together to tell the story of struggle, failures, and successes on the road to equality for Black Americans.
