Episode 9 | Erica R. Edwards on Black Women and U.S. Empire

We may think of the Civil Rights Era as having a certain end date somewhere in the early to mid-1970's.

However Black women have never left the battlefield in the fight for civil & human rights against a patriarchal system bent on silencing Black voices. This week on Left of Black, Dr. Mark Anthony Neal is joined by Prof. Erica R. Edwards, Presidential Term Chair in African American Literature at Rutgers University, to discuss her new book, The Other Side of Terror: Black Women and the Culture of US Empire, published by NYU Press.
