Product Information: - Title of Product: Shirley Chisholm in Her Own Words: Speeches and Writings by Fraser, Zinga A.|Chisholm, Shirley [Royal Edition] Author: Fraser, Zinga A.|Chisholm, Shirley Number of Pages: 304 Publication Year: 2024 Language: English Book Synopsis: - "A timely, detailed, and inspiring book that helps maintain the intellectual legacy of Shirley Chisholm. The book reveals new dimensions of the congresswoman's politics, activism, and spirit."--Regina King, Academy Award-winning actor and star of Shirley Looking beyond her political symbolism to celebrate not only who Shirley Chisholm was but who she is --a revolutionary thinker with much to teach us today. In the midst of her groundbreaking twenty-year career in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm once declared, "Everyone--with the exception of the black woman herself--has been interpreting the black woman." Edited by Zinga A. Fraser, the leading scholar dedicated to the study of Chisholm's legacy, Shirley Chisholm in Her Own Words gives readers a rare opportunity to engage with the congresswoman's powerful ideas in her own voice. Many Americans are familiar with Chisholm's importance as the first Black woman in Congress and the first woman and African American to run for president with either major party. This long-overdue treatment of her work establishes Chisholm as an unparalleled public intellectual and Black feminist both in her time and now. The book not only contextualizes the Civil Rights and Black Power era; it also provides timeless insights on issues that are exceedingly relevant in our current moment. Featuring a captivating introduction by Fraser, Shirley Chisholm in Her Own Words introduces a new generation to one of the most impactful proponents of democracy in America. " Shirley Chisholm In Her Own Words: Speeches and Writings is a timely, detailed, and inspiring book that helps maintain the intellectual legacy of Shirley Chisholm. The book reveals new dimensions of the congresswoman's politics, activism, and spirit. As the editor, Zinga Fraser shows an understanding of Chisholm that motivates us to listen closely to her enduring voice in this political moment."--Regina King, Academy Award-winning actor and star of Shirley "There's no better way to know someone than through their own words. Fraser's book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking for insight into who Shirley Chisholm was both as a politician and as a person."--John Ridley, director and screenwriter of Shirley "This pioneering collection of the writings and speeches of public intellectual, politician, and activist Shirley Chisholm establishes her as one of the most influential and productive Black feminists of the twenty-first century, though she has been too often forgotten in contemporary histories of the women's liberation movement in the U.S. Her bold call for all women in the U.S. to be 'revolutionaries' is one example of her radical vision of a world free of racism, sexism, poverty, class hierarchies, war, colonialism, and capitalism. A must-read, and a reminder of bell hooks's claim that 'feminism is for everybody.'"--Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Founding Director of the Women's Research and Resource Center and Professor of Comparative Women's Studies at Spelman College Product Description: This exquisite book is crafted exclusively for discerning readers and collectors who seek to elevate and preserve their literary treasures.

  2. This book is perfect as was the communication from the Seller! It is a gift for our new Electrician grandson & he will be thrilled. The packaging was excellent, especially considering the miles it had to travel to get to us: bubble wrap padding with cardboard reinforcements inside of a plastic envelope with the perfect amount of tape to secure it all. Kudos to Royal Editions : )
