About this book
Winner of the 2018 Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ Nonfiction
"If Black women were free, it would mean that everyone else would have to be free."
—Combahee River Collective Statement
The Combahee River Collective, a pathbreaking group of radical Black feminists, was one of the most important organizations to develop out of the antiracist and women's liberation movements of the 1960s and '70s. In this collection of essays and interviews edited by activist-scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, founding members and contemporary activists reflect on the organization's contributions to Black feminism and its impact on today's struggles.
This expanded second edition features a new introduction by Taylor and a powerful new interview with Angela Y. Davis.
