This is the history of the black British women's movement of the 1980s (comprising women of African-Caribbean and South Asian origin), and its place in postwar British politics, racism, and feminism.

Trade Review
“A major work of cultural analysis, this book analyzes the black women’s movement in Britain. It also engages such major questions as the oftentimes competitive relationship between race and gender and how to resist unjust social relations without imposing an equally oppressive hierarchical system.”—Indira Karamcheti, Wesleyan University
