Book Description

March 22, 1997 Blacks in the Diaspora

"The history of African American women has become an important topic in the intellectual life of this country in the last fifteen years; and Darlene Clark Hine has been one of those most responsible for bringing the subject to its current level of importance." —from the Foreword by John Hope Franklin

"In this absolutely needed collection of essays by one of the leading American historians of our generation, the richly intertwined community-making and self-making that shaped the historical experience of African American women shines out like a beacon." —Susan M. Reverby, Luella LaMer Associate Professor for Women's Studies, Wellesley College

4.0 out of 5 stars A survey of black women's history, March 20, 2001
By 
"nuclearmse" (Oxford, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hine Sight: Black Women and the Re-Construction of American History (Blacks in the Diaspora) (Paperback)
Hine Sight is a collection of Darlene Clark Hine's essays on black women's history. She is one of the most prominent historians in the field and has helped to define it, which makes the reading of this book all the more interesting. The essays printed here have already been printed numerous times in other journals and anthologies, a testimony to their (and her) importance to the field. It is a wonderful introduction to black women's history, with both theoretical and historical articles included. Because it is a collection of articles, it becomes slightly repetitious - so for an advanced student of black women's history, I would recommend a look at one of Hine's monographs.
