Reimagining Liberation How Black Women Transformed Citizenship in the French Empire

"Beautifully written . . . Annette Joseph-Gabriel's Reimagining Liberation: How Black Women Transformed Citizenship in the French Empire offers a bold new path for reimagining the freedom struggles of the twentieth century. " --Black Perspectives "Seven black women anchor Dr. Annette Joseph-Gabriel's, Reimagining Liberation, an inspired and original history of decolonization. These women's imaginings and practices of liberation politics and decolonial citizenship made them resilient political protagonists in a time of upheaval. In her important book, Joseph-Gabriel compellingly argues for doing far more of what she, Suzanne CÉsaire, Paulette Nardal, EugÉnie ÉbouÉ-Tell, Jane Vialle, AndrÉe Blouin, Aoua KÉita and Eslanda Robeson have done: centering black women's experiences, politics and leadership within struggles to identify and challenge global systems of injustice."--Jennifer Boittin, author of Colonial Metropolis: The Urban Grounds of Anti-Imperialism and Feminism in Interwar Paris
