Bücher der Reihe Since 1970: Histories of Contemporary America Series

The first anthology of US radicalisms that reveals the depth, diversity, and staying power of social movements after the close of the long 1960s. Editors Dan Berger and Emily Hobson track the history of popular struggles to readers the political upheavals that shaped the end of the century and that continue to define the present.

These essays--from scholars in history, sociology, film, and media studies--interrogate Roots, assessing the ways that the book and its dramatization recast representations of slavery, labor, and the black family; reflected on the promise of freedom and civil rights; and engaged discourses of race, gender, violence, and power.

Provides the first analysis of periodicals' key role in US feminism's formation as a collective identity and set of political practices in the 1970s. Agatha Beins shows that the repetition of certain ideas in these periodicals solidified their centrality to feminism.

Explores women of colour's grassroots leadership in organisations that are not singularly identified with feminism. Centred in New York City, Pushing Back brings an intersectional perspective to communities of colour as it addresses injustices tied to domestic work, housing, and environmental policies and practices.
