{"product_id":"radicalism-at-the-crossroads-dayo-f-gore-9780814732366","title":"Radicalism at the Crossroads: African American Women Activists in the Cold War","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith the exception of a few iconic moments such as Rosa Parks's 1955 refusal to move to the back of a Montgomery bus, we hear little about what black women activists did prior to 1960. Perhaps this gap is due to the severe repression that radicals of any color in America faced as early as the 1930s, and into the Red Scare of the 1950s. To be radical, and black and a woman was to be forced to the margins and consequently, these women's stories have been deeply buried and all but forgotten by the general public and historians alike. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this exciting work of historical recovery, Dayo F. Gore unearths\u003cbr\u003eand examines a dynamic, extended network of black\u003cbr\u003eradical women during the early Cold War, including established\u003cbr\u003eCommunist Party activists such as Claudia Jones, \u003cbr\u003eartists and writers such as Beulah Richardson, and lesser known\u003cbr\u003eorganizers such as Vicki Garvin and Thelma Dale.\u003cbr\u003eThese women were part of a black left that laid much of\u003cbr\u003ethe groundwork for both the Civil Rights Movement of the\u003cbr\u003e1960s and later strains of black radicalism. Radicalism at\u003cbr\u003ethe Crossroads offers a sustained and in-depth analysis of\u003cbr\u003ethe political thought and activism of black women radicals\u003cbr\u003eduring the Cold War period and adds a new dimension to\u003cbr\u003eour understanding of this tumultuous time in United States\u003cbr\u003ehistory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dayo F.
