TAYLOR, Keeanga-Yamahtta (ed.)
How We Get Free. Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective

The Combahee River Collective, a pathbreaking group of radical Black feminists, was one of the most important organizations to develop out of the antiracist and women’s liberation movements of the 1960s and ’70s. In this collection of essays and interviews edited by activist-scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, founding members and contemporary activists (Barbara Smith, Beverly Smith, Demita Frazier, Alicia Garza) reflect on the organization’s contributions to Black feminism and its impact on today’s struggles.

This expanded second edition features a new introduction by Taylor and a powerful new interview with Angela Y. Davis.
