<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>From "black girl magic" to Black Lives Matter, the second decade of the 21st century is defined by black feminist politics. <i>Black Feminist Politics from Kennedy to Trump</i> is a definitive investigation of the mainstreaming of black feminist politics in the 21st century. Following on the success of <i>Black Feminist Politics from Kennedy to Clinton </i>and Bl<i>ack Feminist Politics from Kennedy to Obama</i>, this volume incorporates the black women leaders of Black Lives Matter; contemporary black feminist political stars like Rep. Maxine Waters and Senator Kamala Harris; and the transformative influence of black feminist political strategy and principles in mainstream U.S. politics, especially in the 2016 U.S. election. The text also deepens earlier editions' consideration of sexuality and gender identity in black feminist politics and explores the role of digital organizing and social media in setting the terms of contemporary political struggles. A must-read for scholars in Political Science, American Studies, Africana Studies, History, and Gender/Feminist/Women's Studies, <i>Black Feminist Politics from Kennedy to Trump</i> also breaks down the complexity of contemporary politics for an everyday reader eager to understand how black women have been defining leadership and politics since the mid-century.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This is a book that can be read from a scholarly perspective on black feminism in politics, but the beauty of it is you can also be someone reading simply to further knowledge. It is a book that is necessary to the discussion of black feminism, the political landscape, and woman's movement in general in this country. I recommend this book highly." (ThyBlackMan, ThyBlackMan.com, February 13, 2020)<br>"The author pulls no punches and is very much in the modern thinker. Black Feminist Politics from Kennedy to Trump examines how black feminist politics have become more and more a part of mainstream culture, and something often discussed and debated." (Kevin Winter, San Francisco Book Review, sanfranciscobookreview.com, January, 2019)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Duchess Harris</b> is Professor and Chair of American Studies at Macalester College, USA.
