Sue LA - English PP - London ; New York PB - Routledge YR - 2002 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/ebsco_acadsubs_ocm50321147 AB - How do the mass media contribute to the social and economic advantages of the privileged and the subjection of African American women? Does America really care about providing equal opportunities for African American women? Passionately written and supported with detailed evidence this book shows the deeply rooted abiding cancer of oppresion in American society. It reveals the formal and informal ways in which African American women have been exluded from equal participation before and after the time of slavery. It will shock many who complacently believe that America is already a land. OP - 238 CN - E185.86 .J48 2002eb SN - 0203324463 SN - 9780203324462 SN - 0203221443 KW - African American women.
