Undivided Rights
Author: Jael Silliman
Publisher: Haymarket Books
ISBN: 1608466647
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Undivided Rights captures the evolving and largely unknown activist history of women of color organizing for reproductive justice—on their own behalf. Undivided Rights presents a textured understanding of the reproductive rights movement by placing the experiences, priorities, and activism of women of color in the foreground. Using historical research, original organizational case studies, and personal interviews, the authors illuminate how women of color have led the fight to control their own bodies and reproductive destinies. Undivided Rights shows how women of color—-starting within their own Latina, African American, Native American, and Asian American communities—have resisted coercion of their reproductive abilities. Projected against the backdrop of the mainstream pro-choice movement and radical right agendas, these dynamic case studies feature the groundbreaking work being done by health and reproductive rights organizations led by women-of-color. The book details how and why these women have defined and implemented expansive reproductive health agendas that reject legalistic remedies and seek instead to address the wider needs of their communities. It stresses the urgency for innovative strategies that push beyond the traditional base and goals of the mainstream pro-choice movement—strategies that are broadly inclusive while being specific, strategies that speak to all women by speaking to each woman. While the authors raise tough questions about inclusion, identity politics, and the future of women’s organizing, they also offer a way out of the limiting focus on "choice." Undivided Rights articulates a holistic vision for reproductive freedom. It refuses to allow our human rights to be divvied up and parceled out into isolated boxes that people are then forced to pick and choose among.

National Women of Color Organizations
Author: Aileen C. Hernandez

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
A survey was done in 1987 of national organizations of women of color, their leaders, their organizations, and the issues they were confronting. The survey was conducted through questionnaires to all and on-site visits to a few of the women of color organizations. A return for verification of information in 1991 found that all but a few were still in operation. The survey found that although the group experiences differed historically, some priorities common to all included leadership development, employment opportunities, improved education, strengthening of the family, and economic development as well as a desire to reaffirm the strength and value of their own cultures, and to gain political, social, and economic empowerment. The document presents the survey findings through a chapter on each of the following ethnic groups: (1) Asian Pacific American women; (2) African American women; (3) Hispanic American women; and (4) Native American women. Also included is a list of the 23 organizations that responded to the survey and extensive portraits of each institution, which touch on organizational history, staffing, publications, dues, goals, constituency, base of support, and issues of primary interest. A final section presents survey responses for each of the 23 organizations surveyed. (JB)
