Hardback. Condizione: Good. National Book Critics Circle 2021 Biography Finalist · 53rd NAACP Image Award Nominee: Outstanding Literary Work - Biography/Autobiography "[A] riveting and timely exploration of Hamer's life. . . . Blain's book functions simultaneously as a much needed history lesson and an indispensable guide for modern activists."--New York Times Book Review Explores the Black activist's ideas and political strategies, highlighting their relevance for tackling modern social issues including voter suppression, police violence, and economic inequality. "We have a long fight and this fight is not mine alone, but you are not free whether you are white or black, until I am free." --Fannie Lou Hamer A blend of social commentary, biography, and intellectual history, Until I Am Free is a manifesto for anyone committed to social justice. The book challenges us to listen to a working-poor and disabled Black woman activist and intellectual of the civil rights movement as we grapple with contemporary concerns around race, inequality, and social justice. Award-winning historian and New York Times best-selling author Keisha N. Blain situates Fannie Lou Hamer as a key political thinker alongside leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks and demonstrates how her ideas remain salient for a new generation of activists committed to dismantling systems of oppression in the United States and across the globe. Despite her limited material resources and the myriad challenges she endured as a Black woman living in poverty in Mississippi, Hamer committed herself to making a difference in the lives of others. She refused to be sidelined in the movement and refused to be intimidated by those of higher social status and with better jobs and education. In these pages, Hamer's words and ideas take center stage, allowing us all to hear the activist's voice and deeply engage her words, as though we had the privilege to sit right beside her. Her words still speak truth to power, laying bare the faults in American society and offering valuable insights on how we might yet continue the fight to help the nation live up to its core ideals of "equality and justice for all." Includes a photo insert featuring Hamer at civil rights marches, participating in the Democratic National Convention, testifying before Congress, and more.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. Fannie Lou Hamer was a trailblazing activist and organizer who spoke truth to power and dedicated her life to the fight for Black voting rights, women's empowerment, economic rights, and human rights. Award-winning historian Keisha N. Blain resurrects Hamer at a moment when her vision and political strategies to fight for social justice are profoundly needed. Born in Webster County, Mississippi, in 1917, Hamer was the youngest of twenty children, the granddaughter of enslaved people, and a share-cropper for most of her life. In 1962, Hamer became a field secretary for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in Sunflower County, Mississippi, working to help Black residents register to vote. In August 1964, she delivered a compelling and unforgettable speech at the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey, when she addressed issues of voter suppression and state-sanctioned violence in personal terms. Blending intellectual history, biography, and social commentary, Until I Am Free introduces readers to this remarkable figure of the civil rights movement through her speeches, writings, and interviews during the 1960s and 1970s. Dr. Blain interweaves contemporary examples of violence to Black people, such as Breonna Taylor, with examples of racism and brutality from Hamer's time to demonstrate not only that white supremacy persists but to show how this key political thinker's strategies and ideas remain salient today. Hamer's assertion that "none of us are free until all of us are free" reveals how her expansive political vision was grounded in unity, solidarity, and inclusive democracy. Fannie Lou Hamer believed that ordinary people, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, ability, economic status, or educational background have the power to transform society. Resonant and inspiring, Until I Am Free is a manifesto for anyone committed to social justice. Beacon Press, Hardcover, 1st Edition, 1st Printing, 2021 THIS IS A BRAND NEW BOOK.…
