How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor

4.0

sometimes reading theory can be difficult, but the CRC statement, especially when accompanied by interviews with those who wrote it and those who have been impacted by it, was not a struggle to grasp at all. i really enjoyed hearing the authors' perspectives, and seeing the development of Black feminism in the US from the 70s to now. I came away with a better understanding of the history of these ideas and how they are being enacted today, as well as an understanding of coalition-building among different activist and organizer groups. I definitely want to read more from these authors and the authors they cited as their influences.
