Broken Utterances: A Selected Anthology of 19th Century Black Women’s Social Thought

Broken Utterances connects the seemingly disparate voices of twenty Black women of the 1800’s, and weaves a cohesive web revealing surprising influences not only upon each other, but also on the experiences of Black women today. It is an examination of how the unique position of the African American woman provides her with the ability to dissect the ills of society and offer distinctive insight for positive transformation. The book is a multi-media work featuring primary texts, biographies, original illustrations and translations into contemporary vernacular.
