This is the literature of liberation! The truth. It waters the roots of a strong and timeless tree and bears the fruit of freedom. In the tradition of Ida B. Wells, Thandisizwe Chimurenga writes for the people because she is the people, and she loves the people. The interviews and conversations in Some Of Us Are Brave include Black women and Black men on Black women. This book will educate, inspire and strengthen the mind and spirit of Black women and those that love them. \u2014Dr. Alice Nicholas, Africologist, Assistant Professor, Poet<\/p>\n
Some of Us Are Brave is a courageous exploration of Black feminism within the Black left, offering invaluable insights and igniting much-needed conversations. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this vital aspect of our history and the transformative power of Black feminist thought. In a media landscape that often falls short when it comes to representing the voices of Black feminists, this series is a breath of fresh air. \u2014 Piper Carter, Detroit-based Arts & Culture Organizer

The program covered a myriad of issues by amplifying the voices of a broad cross-section of Black women. Some of those voices have been preserved here in this volume. In addition to capturing various moments in time with a \u00advariety of women, this is also a means of taking the intellec\u00adtual production of and about Black women out of the hands of institutions that are both fundamentally \u00adanti-Black and anti-woman.<\/p>\n
Volume 1 contains interviews under the headings The Shoulders on Which We Stand and Black Lives Have \u00adAlways Mattered.<\/p>\n
